That's not a Zend-Framework class. The namespace of all Zend classes start with Zend\. Similarly, all Laminas (Zend migrated to Laminas) classes namespaces start with Laminas\.

Beside that, Zend-Framework has not a "version" anymore since 2017 (when version 2.4.13 was released).

Then is not a "monolithic" framework, but it has been divided in packages (based on functionnalities/features), meaning that the "zend version" depends on what package you are using.

To understand what package you are looking for, you have to dig inside Core\Db\BaseModels\BaseDbTable and see which zend classes it uses. From that, you have to search inside vendor/zend/ directory where this classes are located, and from that you have the package your application is using.

Finally, when you have the package (which may probably be zendframework/zend-db), you must look in composer.lock file to get what version is installed:

...
{
    "name": "laminas/laminas-db",
    "version": "2.11.3",
    ...
}
