How long does the "This question may already have an answer here" banner appear if the 5 close-as-duplicate votes are never reached? For example, if a question receives two close-as-duplicate votes, the banner appears. Does it ever disappear if there are no further close votes?

I would assume until those votes expire. And only visible to the OP.– BartCommented Apr 9, 2013 at 8:27

It's only shown to the OP until the question gets closed. If the close votes expire, it will melt away for all. If it gets closed, then everyone will see it.
