To upgrade Safari to Safari 16 or a later version you would need to upgrade your Mac to macOS 11 or a later version.

 

If you can’t or don’t want to upgrade, you may want to use a 3rd party internet browser that supports running their current version on your Mac. One option is Chrome: https://www.google.com/chrome/
