If your iPad is stuck on iOS 12.5.5 and shows that it is up to date, then you have an iPad Air, first generation. You will not be able to update that device, and it is much too old to get the battery replaced. Apple does not replace the battery, they replace the entire device as out of warranty replacement. It would not be cost effective to pay for that. You can also look to see if you can find a refurbished iPad by Apple that would be more cost effective and would be one that would support a higher iOS. There is the link for the refurbished store.
