Apparently, "supersede" does indeed supersede "supercede".
supersede
/soprseed/
• verb take the place of; supplant.
— USAGE The standard spelling is supersede rather than supercede.
— ORIGIN Latin supersedere ‘be superior to’.
su·per·cede
variant of supersede
usage Supercede has occurred as a spelling variant of supersede since the 17th century, and it is common in current published writing. It continues, however, to be widely regarded as an error.
I will yield to the two M "dilemma", but I refuse on penalty of death to pronounce the silent T in "often"
