Your PHP CLI version seems to either be too old (PHP 5.2 or earlier) or your server is reporting the wrong path to the CRON script. If your CRON jobs worked before the upgrade to 3.7.10 then your PHP CLI version is too old. Please note that the version of PHP CLI may be different than the one used by your site: they are different binaries. Please ask your host for the path to the PHP 5.3 CLI binary and put that in your CRON job.
