Yup - your os is far too ancient for the libraries the weewx dpkg is built against. That version went end-of-life in May-2018.
I'd suggest you reimage with the current RaspiOS from https://www.raspberrypi.org/software/operating-systems and then you'll be up to date and supportable. The weewx package works just fine in the current os.
