There were bugs in older versions that resulted in incorrect results from checking.
You still need to upgrade.

Your cart is quite old so you may want to consider just doing the Quickie Upgrade and using the responsive classic template.

Thank you! Is there an easier path? Maybe just install the newest version and do a database conversion?

That's exactly what the second link walks you through. It's a fresh start with your existing database.
