System preferences notification red badge annoying

I've update my MacBook Pro to macOS Catalina 10.15.4.

System Preferences -> Software Update says that my Mac is up to date and no updates found, but red badge with number "1" is on System Preferences icon on a Dock.

This is annoying! How to get rid of it!

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.15

To suppress the red badge icon on the Dock, is one more Terminal command, copy and paste:

defaults write com.apple.systempreferences AttentionPrefBundleIDs 0 && killall Dock
