You are running a version of Emacs with an old key.  Please upgrade to
Emacs 26.3 or follow these instructions:

1. set package-check-signature to nil, e.g. M-: (setq
package-check-signature nil) RET
2. download the package gnu-elpa-keyring-update and run the function
with the same name, e.g. M-x package-install RET
gnu-elpa-keyring-update RET.
3. reset package-check-signature to the default value allow-unsigned
