At 85 I really don't wan't or probably understand any problems on my computer so is Ventura a good, stable OS?

Don't upgrade. Currently location services is broken. It's been broken for 3.5 weeks. This can cause problems in particular applications. An example is that some people using Chrome cannot give it permission to access their location for websites that want it (e.g. looking up restaurants near me). I also use a calendar application which cannot access my location to give me the weather.

There is a front-page article about this bug. https://www.macrumors.com/2023/08/10/macos-ventura-13-5-location-services-bug/

If you are on Monterey or Big Sur, don't upgrade to Ventura.
Both Monterey and Big Sur receive security updates.

Apple released 13.5.1 Location Services is now fixed.

From the OP's screenshot, it looks like Catalina.
so is Ventura a good, stable OS
Yes. It has always been relatively bug free. With Ventura you will then get security fixes for a few years.

But you do need to check that the applications you are running are supported for Ventura or have updates which are supported.

Potential annoyances you will have to contend with are a) System Settings which replaces System Preferences, b) more alerts regarding security restrictions which need to be accepted and/or configured.
