MacBook Pro 5.3 update help needed

[LRM3]

New problem. I have been able to update the system to OS X 10.7 Lion. I can now use Icloud. Is there any way to further update the OS without having to pay Apple $20 for each new OS?

It should be able to run El Capitan, https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT206886.

Is there any way to further update the OS...

As Bob mentioned above, that Mac can use:

Maximum MacOS: X 10.11.x*

Details: *This system fully supports the last version of OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" as well as OS X 10.9 "Mavericks" except for "Power Nap" and "AirPlay Mirroring" (which also requires an Apple TV 2nd Gen or higher). It also supports the last version of OS X 10.10 "Yosemite" and OS X 10.11 "El Capitan" -- including Mac-to-Mac AirDrop capability -- but no other advanced features are supported. It is not capable of running macOS Sierra (10.12) or subsequent versions of the macOS at all.
