There is no late 2011 iMac and there is no version 10.13.8. The closest to that is mid 2011 and 10.13.6.

A mid 2011 iMac cannot upgrade beyond High Sierra 10.13.6. See the following from Identify your iMac model - Apple Support

iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011)

Model Identifier: iMac12,1

Part Number: MC309xx/A, MC812xx/A

Latest compatible operating system: macOS High Sierra 10.13.6


For security reasons you should consider using a 3rd party internet browser that supports running a current version on High Sierra rather than using Safari. Two examples that will run their current version on High Sierra are Chrome and Firefox.
