That usually doesn't have anything to do with the PHP version. What mods do you have installed?

Also you can get your PHP version by going to Admin -> Main -> Support and Credits

We are definitely moved to PHP 7.4, not sure who did it, my friend or hosting.
I already had small spam in logs related to SMF Chess, it gives me similar errors, usually bots are active there but nothing serious. All looks similar to this case - https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=571944.0

Update to 2.0.18 for php 7.4 support.

Thanks, that part is known to me, I'm checking if there are broken functionalities.
