Trying to update to the latest version of Safari but my iMac does not offer software update and the App store only shows safari apps for iOS devices. My Macbook, same year and OS as my iMac, was able to do it. But no idea how it's done on the iMac.
iMac 27″, OS X 10.11

Safari 11.1.2. is the latest Safari version available for macOS 10.11.6 El Capitan. There is no newer version for that macOS version.
If you updated the MacBook Pro recently then it got that version of Safari, while your iMac already had it. Or your MacBook is not in fact running 10.11.6, but something newer, and as such got a newer version of Safari.
Either way, the iMac is currently as updated as it can be for Safari.

To are specific you should know that Safari is installed as part of the operating system and it normally it cannot be individually upgraded. It is periodically updated when the computer's operating system is updated or upgraded.
I was able to do it on my Macbook, which is the same age and has the exact same operating system as the iMac. It's confusing.
What version of Safari is the iMac running?
What version of Safari is the MacBook running?
What macOS version its each of them running?
Both are running OS 10.11.6
The iMac is running Safari 11.2.1
The Macbook is running whatever is the very latest Safari version (not in front of me at the moment). I just updated it last week.
