EDIT:
After installing the latest firmware my device still displayed the notification that the update was available.
It looks like PocketBook may have forgotten to update the new_firmware variable in global.cfg after the update completes.

Spoiler:

If you want to fix this set new_firmware=0 in:
/mnt/ext1/system/config/global.cfg
You may also need to update the .back file for the setting to stick:
/mnt/ext1/system/config/global.cfg.back
