Is there a way to recover the photos that are in the older version of IPhoto on my Macbook Pro after upgrading to Big Sur?
MacBook, OS X 10.10
Yes. iPhoto was replaced by Photos. Opening the new Photos app, should import the existing iPhoto library to itself directly.
If it does not, you can close the Photos app entirely and then hold the option key while opening it again, and it will ask you to point it to a library to open. Navigate to the iPhoto Library.iphotolibrary file and it should open and import it.

iPhoto needs some old 32-bit system frameworks, that are no longer supported on any system version since macOS 10.15 Catalina. The last system version to support iPhoto has been macOS 10.14 Mojave.
Now is your last chance to create Photos Libraries from your iPhoto Libraries and save the albums and other work you have done in iPhoto. Once you move on and upgrade to macOS 13 Ventura, you will even no longer be able to open the iPhoto Libraries in Photos and to create Photos Libraries from them. Then all you will be able to do is to import the photos and videos from iPhoto Libraries, but the albums and keywords and other metadata will be lost.
I was not aware that my older version of IPhotos would not be supported by Big Sur and installed it. Is there a way to retrieve them?
