Yes. You can use the term_getstatus() function to get the status of
the terminal.
You can use the getbufinfo(), term_getjob() and job_info() functions to get
additional details about the job running in a terminal window.
Example (assuming the buffer number for the terminal is 2):
:echo term_getjob(2)->job_info()
:echo term_getstatus(2)
:echo term_getjob(2)->job_status()
:echo getbufinfo(2)[0].name
