What is the answer to the total occurrences when the string is "aaaaaaaaa" and the substring is "aa"? For some it will be 5 and others will be around 8.

That aside https://www.w3schools.com/python/ref_string_find.asp doesn't do this count. You would have to wrap find() with code to step through the string and increment a count on each success of find().
