You might really want to see if there is something wrong with the cards, etc first, but in the meantime if you really need the newest version, here you go:

Download the tar.gz file from https://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/gparted/gparted-1.1.0/

Extract the file

tar zxvf gparted-1.1.0.tar.gz

Install required prereqs

sudo apt build-dep gparted
sudo apt install libgtkmm-3.0-dev itstool build-essential

Go to the gparted folder

cd gparted-1.1.0/

Now run the configure, make and make install:

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

Now gparted should show the newest version:
