The chosen card is the $39$-th from the top of the shuffled deck. All permutations of the deck are equally likely, so each of the $52$ cards is equally likely to be in the $39$-th position. $16$ cards are either an ace, a spade, or both, so the probability of getting one of these cards is
$\frac{16}{52}=\frac4{13}\;.$
