The InstallOS.pkg does not install Sierra at that point but creates the Install macOS Sierra.app in your Applications folder.

Locate it and double-click to start the installation process.

If it really is the model you say, the maximum OS is High Sierra 10.13.6.

What happens when you try to update? Are you getting any error messages such as not enough free storage space?
