1. If it wishes to learn the nature of things it will likely want to discover new knowledge, which requires (among other things) the use of the scientific method. Some scientific studies take a long time. (e.g. studies of how changes in genes/memes effects development of a creature throughout its lifespan).
2. Creativity, if you think of the kinds of possible novels that have yet to be written, works of art yet to be created, movies yet to be made, etc. etc. you will see that there are an infinite number of such, and thus if the AI wishes to become creative, it can keep itself entertained for eternity (potentially).
