SUMMARY
The best replacement options for the HP 32Sii calculator include the Casio FX-115ES, the TI-Nspire series, and the HP 35s. The Casio FX-115ES is favored for its functionality, while the TI-Nspire offers graphing capabilities but has a less preferred key arrangement for calculations. The HP 35s is highlighted as a natural substitute due to its RPN functionality, programmability, and similar size, priced around US$60 with positive reviews on Amazon.

That calculator was introduced in 1991 
It all depends on what you plan on doing with it, but I love my Casio FX-115ES.
And if you want something that can graph, TI-Nspire's are nice. I don't like doing calculations on it though, because of the key arrangement. Or you can just use Wolfram|Alpha
