That looks abnormal to me. Have you tried to update SSD firmware¹ and BIOS for your Dell PC?

Thanks all again for your precious answers.

I will try first to update Bios and SSD firmwares.

For the ssd, instructions (see link below) are for windows only.

Is there a way to update dell ssd firmware without taking the ssd out and plug it in into a windows machine?

In this particular case, I don't thinks so, because it looks like SSD firmware and flasher are fused together into a single PE file and I don't think WINE will be able to handle it properly.
There is a possibility that extracted "23201112_WIN.EXE" file will work under WinPE / WinRE environments booted from a USB flash drive, but I wouldn't count on it.

If you don't have a NVMe-capable Windows PC at hand, you can download an evaluation version of Windows 10 from Microsoft¹ and install it on separate storage device, just to update SSD firmware.
Fill the form with gibberish. Microsoft Product Key or Activation are not required. Evaluation copy will work for 90 days.
