Version 5.77.2 was released on Feb 19th, 2021.
Why is so outdated?
It had an update a few days ago and many others before that: DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository
Either you haven’t refreshed your repos or you installed it from another source.

I believe I installed from f-droid years ago, but as I have google-play, maybe I updated this version from google-play.
Is there a way to upgrade my duckduckgo from f-droid without uninstalled? I have a lot of bookmarks and I would not like to loose them.
Anyway in my f-droid app I can see only this old version. I believe my repositories are updated. I have been getting f-droid update notifications for other apps quite often.
In the screenshot I attached you can see “updated 5 days ago”, while in the version list is still only this only version.
I have just updated the app via google-play. With the latest version I can export bookmarks. So I will export them and re-installed the app from f-droid.
I thought I could update the app either from f-droid and google-play.
Nope, that’s a security feature, eg. nobody can update your app to one that has malware inside
Buuuut, sometimes apps are “built reproducible” and then F-Droid holds the exactly same package, eg. see Briar or Ltt.rs
