Looks like the following command fixed it:

sudo launchctl disable system/com.apple.SafariPlugInUpdateNotifier

Note: if it does not work for you straight away, try to re-login or reboot.

The similar issue was reported at SafariPlugInUpdateNotifier Quit Unexpecte… - Apple Community

and at “SafariPlugInUpdateNotifier quit unexpect… - Apple Community,

but there was no solution mentioned, so I decided to post it here, just in case.
