And just for completeness, here is an actual HTML snippet that uses classes for superscripts that will work in a browser and in calibre, because unlike the HTML you posted, it actually contains the style definitions.
Code:
<html><body><style>.ss { vertical-align:super}</style><p>A<span class="ss">superscript</span></p></body><html>

What if you had a client that that has thousands of pages that you cannot change? Which is in this case.
The links in the HTML are with a class footnote, it does not have a <sup> tag. And the HTML cannot be changed.
Calibre should be able to keep the class footnote in the link if we ask it to. Otherwise I am looking at manually editing thousands of pages just to make it work with Calibre.
The class footnote is used in a different stylesheet but that is not relevant. Calibre should leave the class footnote alone if we tell it to.
If a class is needed, it should have that option.
So far the best solution is the CSS offered by user
Brett Merkey.
But that is not a solution for the long term.
Please give Calibre an option to keep a class if we mention that class.
