I have noticed, that when I try to sudo apt update, the terminal keeps showing me errors that I had when I was trying to install something else time ago.

Quoting the link from my comment:

=== End of Life ===

This PPA is no longer updated for releases older than Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. If you are using an older release, please ppa-purge this PPA and consider upgrading to a newer Ubuntu release. Unless otherwise posted, updates will only be provided in this PPA for 7 months from the original release of the associated Ubuntu series. https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-gnome/2017-March/004229.html

We can safely remove it like so (note that ppa-purge may also work, but I know apt is guaranteed to be installed):

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3

We can repeat the removal for GNOME 3 Staging also, as a similar EOL notice is posted there also:

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging

We then repeat the same for the Flatpak PPA

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:flatpak/stable

I'm going to assume the OP isn't on a LTS release and that if the above removal fails for the Flatpak PPA that it will need to be manually removed from the .sources file(s) and readded properly using the link I provided.
