A few websites have said my browser is out of date. The browser is Safari. Safari browser should update when macOS is updated. My computer says I have the latest version of macOS but my Safari browser is old.
iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15
If you have macOS 10.15 as shown in your post, that is also somewhat old. Safari 15.16.1 is the newest version of Safari that will run in macOS 10.15.7. To go to a newer Safari version you would need to upgrade macOS if you can.
The model year of an iMac is available at Apple menu > About This Mac.

My MAC updated the macOS but not the Safari browser. Is there a direct way to update my Safari browser?
