I’m totally clueless in this area since I don’t have a phone capable of doing...well, anything. Could it be a software problem since his is a new phone and this car is 11 years old? Could this old system not be compatible with modern devices?

As you surmised, the phone is probably too new for that version of SYNC.
You can try this. Don't know if it will work for you.

One day a guy comes in and wants to buy half of a grapefruit. The kid gets all flustered and runs back to see his boss in the stock room. He didn’t notice that the guy followed him back there. Out of breath he blurts out to his boss, “there is this a-hole up front that wants to buy half a grape fruit. What should I tell him”? Just then he sees the guy and says to his boss, “and this gentleman wants to buy the other half”.

Would it be of any use to have the dealer help? Maybe install some sort of update to the system? As I’ve said, I don’t have a clue how this stuff works.

I suppose having the ingredients and spices for the meals packaged together, with instructions, might have some benefit. But, you can also go on line, or YouTube and find a wealth of ways to cook proteins, veggies and deserts.....FOR FREE!
Usually “non-discoverable” devices on Bluetooth can be solved by rebooting. On a vehicle, that means disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes or so.
IF that doesn’t work, an email to Ford support (if there is such a thing) might be in order.
Since the phone is new, try contacting the phone’s manufacturer.

that people used a clearing method which is that the key is in the ignition (don't recall if
it needs to be ON, or just inserted so the car knows a qualified key is present) and
the driver door left open for 5 minutes.
That clears something in the bluetooth setup and people could successfully pair
their phone to that car, usually a Malibu 'cause this was on a Malibu forum.
Is there some system like that for Ford.

One is reminded of the old chestnut that circulated around the early internet in the '90s about "what if Microsoft made a car". It is funny today to look at how many of the things named actually are true (or close to it):
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue.
For some reason you would simply accept this.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.
6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.
7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.
8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off."

Here is some troubleshooting info.

I'm sure your car has that hidden somewhere.

It could be for the hill thingy. I was messing with the arrows and discovered a plethora of things that appear, at first glance, to be just as worthless. Maybe I'll mess with some more one of these days.

Much like yapping about high speed runs. Nevada, Alberta and New Mexico, among other places, have provided me the opportunity to cruise at well over 100 mph for extended periods.
You people need to go west to enjoy your vehicles.
Early this week, before I discovered this thing, I started up a steep, snow covered, hill - just to see if I could make it. The car stopped about half way up, but then crawled the rest of the way up.
I think I'll go back to that hill and see how steep it really is.
There's not much flat here in the middle of Pennsylvania. The Appalachians sure isn't the Rockies, but there are some pretty nice hills here.

Most are just digital, some have a picture. Sometimes off roaders find this information useful.
It would be good to know the maximums you should stay within to avoid a problem
****There is also a Hill Warning Light......that is different;

Drinks were tasty, can’t believe I never had one before. Wife saw it on some cooking show.
