The latest MacOS supported on that model is 10.13 High Sierra. it is too old to run later versions.

Be sure you have a Trusted Backup before you do anything. Installing this UPGRADE will re-write more than 350,000 files, and there is no "unDo". If your drive is having issues, this could very well push it over the cliff into failure.
