You, actually, have an iPod Touch 2nd generation.
Way too old and the most recent iOS version that is compatible with it (iOS 4.2.1 ) has long since no longer available from Apple to download.
Sorry.

Because the hardware on the original iPod touch (1G) does not support higher than 3.1.3.
A 1G iPod can go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and iOS 3.1.3 via
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
