Can a laptop turn itself off if it overheats too much? or will it explode/burn its internal components?

My main concern is if the laptop “knows” that It’s overheated too much, to the point that keeping itself running & not shutting down is self-destructive or even fatal.

My laptop is a model from the 2010s, so I’m not sure if it has the technology to turn itself off.

    The CPU will have its lifespan reduced SIGNIFICANTLY, it could even melt part of the motherboard. Explode/catch on fire? HIGHLY unlikely, but not completely impossible.
