Hi, I got a used laptop from an family member. It did have this this annoying sticker on it (see picture). Apparently for years already.
So, how can I remove it without scratching the metal body or leaving residue behind?

I think you forgot to add the picture :(
But, I assume it's one of those super annoying ones. I'd say carefully peel all you can, then Goo Gone is your friend :)
The only thing I would add to this is carefully use a hair dryer to loosen the adhesive on the sticker first. Should leave less mess for the goo gone to deal with.
I'd just peel it off and maybe rub it with my finger to get rid of leftover adhesive.
I'd use ipa to break down the glue or at a pinch some hand sanitiser and a cloth to get rid of stickers.
A plastic ice scraper will help get the bulk off, then you can get a variety of solvents for removing any residue. If it is metal then it should be fine with most solvents but check the instructions and do a test patch somewhere discreet to be sure.
