Update notification - no update

Hello, there is this red number notification on my dock bar at the System Preferences icon:


When I open it I see the notification again:


But when I finally open the Software Update window, there are no updates to be installed:


This annoying notification has been there since I upgraded my system to the Catalina version. How do I get rid of it?


Thank you for your help.
