I think if your equipment is not eligible for Big Sur you won't even see a "download" option. A numeric error message like that strikes me as being a more technical issue and would be best handled by Apple. Refer to this document for ways to contact Apple ➞ Choose your country or region - Official Apple Support
Select your country (also look for "other" regions), then a product. If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.
