according to MacTracker you have an early 2009 17inch MacBook Pro. You can upgrade to the latest version of Mac OS X Mountain lion (10.8.2).
first you need 10.6.8 before you can go any higher.

General requirements
* Mac computer with an Intel processor
* 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
* 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
* DVD drive for installation
* Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
* Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
