It may have some, but not as much as other dairy. It certainly doesn't have enough to make a wothwhile calcium source in your diet.

Yes, butter has calcium, and no, it's not much.
It contains about 24 grams of calcium per tablespoon, which is less than 1% of the "daily requirement" for an adult.
Butter isn't fortified with calcium (or other nutrients) either; if you want a source of calcium, you'll have to use fortified margarine or "spread".

yes, real butter has calcium. If its commercial butter, or margarine, its likely synthetic calcium., It has a small amount, not enough to use it as a source of dietary supplementation because you would have to eat too much of it, and the fat would be bad for you

Yes it does. But it isn't considered a significant source of calcium because a serving is very small and its high fat content makes it a less-than-desireable food to eat in quantities that would contribute much calcium to your diet.

Yes it would have to, it is a dairy product made by churning cream. But since it's high fat content it would not make a reasonable source for it. Eat some good broccoli.
