The image looks blurry but can you provide the transaction  id for further clearance  on issue or are you aware of the transaction  fee using  for the transaction??

But realistically, how long can it take?

Right now no crystal ball will be able to tell you, it might be till the weekend or two months.
It's a small tx, you have no unconfirmed parents it seems, so you could either try to accelerate it (not that I recommend it) or do a CPFP transaction, which would be way cheaper.
You have a guide on CPFP here:

Ps, for anyone wondering, here is the tx:

The fee used is too low acording to the current mempool status. The transaction could say longer up to 14 days before nodes drop them or it could be purged if the fee increases further.

Since you are using Electrum you could do CPFP for faster confirmation.

Well yes but I did not send this payment to myself. It came from an external party and I have no control over their actions.
Can I still do something then to speed it up?

And what does "nodes drop them" mean? Does this mean it gets returned to sender?

But to answer your question, it won't  stay unconfirmed  forever  it will only sit there till the mempool  is less congested  to the extent of accepting  your transaction  fee as prior , could be days,week or even months it depends

Hello,

Any experts here who can shed their light on this case? I received this payment about 3,5 days ago and it's still unconfirmed.
Should I be worried that it might stay unconfirmed forever or will it for sure be confirmed sooner or later? But realistically, how long can it take?

Here is a screenshot of the transaction:
