the minimum version for the latest node-red dashboard is node v12.
you seem to have a very old nodejs v10

Since you are on a raspberry you can try running the bash script from this link
to update to the latest node-red version and also it will update your nodejs to a compatible version
then you can try installing the dashboard again.

ps. its good to make a backup of your flows beforehand
