Sadly, there is no direct way to get the binary to tell you what version
it is.  At least, there wasn't at the time.  Nowadays, you can run "tsql
-C" and get a very nice little report (if I do say so myself).  

Probably, you have 0.53.  It was released 20 Dec 2001; version 0.60
arrived 11 Sep 2002.  Absolutely, you should upgrade.  Many many things
have been fixed, and we were all in short pants back in the 0.53 days.
