You are almost there! The main issue is that you are using the wrong contract and tx data in this example.
The transaction you are trying to decode is to PancakeSwap V3, but you are using the V2 router address (and ABI probably); also, the tx data looks different than the data in BSCscan.
Here is the code with the correct parameters:
Make sure to add the Router V3 ABI; I didn't put it here as it is very long.
Note that this code uses web3.py V6.
from web3 import Web3
# Initialize the Web3 instance
w3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider('NODE_URL'))
# Define PancakeSwap Router contract address and ABI
pancake_router_address = '0x13f4EA83D0bd40E75C8222255bc855a974568Dd4'
pancake_abi = [ABI_V3_HERE]
# Set up the PancakeSwap Router contract
contract = w3.eth.contract(address=Web3.to_checksum_address(pancake_router_address), abi=pancake_abi)
# Transaction input (replace this with the actual input you want to decode)
transaction_input = "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"

print()
When you place the correct ABI, it will give you something like this as the output:

You can see the amounts in and out used as parameters for the transaction.
To calculate the slippage, you need to get the actual amount out that the address received. In this example, it will look like this. Just note that the amount is hardcoded.
# Slippage
expected_amount_out = 171755979977301014
actual_amount_out = 172365853540100574
slippage_percentage = ((expected_amount_out - actual_amount_out) / expected_amount_out) * 100
print(f"Slippage percentage: {slippage_percentage:.2f}%")
