That is a "known" bug with iPhone SE I am afraid.
Report it please https://apple.com/feedback
There is a workaround, in the Recents tab in the Phone app, look at the call where Block Caller should be, short press the Home button, then tap the Phone App again, repeat about 3 times and the Block Caller will appear.
BTW, it is pointlesw blocking spammers as they use a different number each time.

Thank you very much for the advice! The solution with briefly pressing the Home button and reopening the Phone app really worked — the "Block Caller" option appeared. I really appreciate the help!
You're welcome! Thanks for feeding back.
