Is this old? Something to worry about? Can we get it updated?

Hi - I’ve not seen this before. I should think it’s fine, but if you’re worried, get in touch with Netgear support and they can help further:

Alternatively, you could disable UPNP on your router but I wouldn’t recommend doing that in general as it can make it harder to connect to things like games, teammates and other applications.

Its Netgear not updating their software properly, this has been patched though in previous firmwares for other routers like the R7800 so the patch covers routers like the XR500, so its safe, but Netgear didn't bother actually updating miniupnd1.0 which is about 13 years old. Lazy coding tbh.
