Hi,

You are on a very old version, thus you cannot directly update to the latest version

I would make a backup and do a clean installation.
Because after your old version, the main OP system has also been updated several times.

You can also update step by step, but you will no longer be able to access the intermediate images, they will be removed by Netgate.

So you are trapped, always have your firewall up to date

+++edit:
Due to the age of your system, the backup may not be fully compatible either, be prepared for anything.

make a backup of your config file on a external media. Download the recent pfsense version image, create a bootmedia adecvate to your system and make a fresh install and after that import your backuped config file.
IMHO the only way to upgrade in your situation.

I, if I were here at this point, would have a chance to review my (old?) hardware as well

It doesn’t change the thing, now you can easily add anything or replace
