You somehow managed to install a version of pip for Python 3.6+, while your current Python install is Python 3.5.

However, instead of fixing the current install, I would instead suggest upgrading to the latest version of Python, given that Python 3.5 has been unsupported for over 2 years.

To do so, just uninstall the current installation, download and install Python 3.10 from https://www.python.org/downloads/, and reinstall any packages through pip.
