I copied the below code from some random source to my terminal and ran:
while sleep 1;
do tput sc;
tput cup 0 $(($(tput cols)-29));
date;
tput rc;
done &
The code is to show a running clock at the top right corner of the terminal. The snippet worked very well and exactly did what I wanted it to, but now I just want to end this loop and get rid of the clock.
Also, I need to understand the above code. I've some idea, as I know what tput command does, but still there're many dots which I'm not able to connect.

You can run jobs command in your session to list active background jobs and then put them to foreground by typing fg <job number>. Then type Ctrl+C to stop this infinite loop.
This scenario is working only in terminal that run snippet.
Explanation:
tput sc - save cursor position.
tput cup 0 $(($(tput cols)-29)) - move cursor to position 0 of Y axis and (count of screen columns minus 29) of X axis.
date - just print current date.
tput rc - restore cursor position.
while sleep 1; ... do ... ; done - loop with delay of 1 second.
Type help while to know more about while loop in shell and follow to man 1 tput or tldp tput doc to know how tput works.
