They show an AH4 but no "T", I leave it up to you to determine if the bios is right or not. Why would you need a "latest" bios for this old board now? What has changed since then? Unless the bios is corrupt I would leave it alone, it's not likely they added anything more useful in recent years like a Y2K patch or larger hard drive support, etc. This page might link to more info about old boards, http://fae.abit.com.tw/eng/download/ but unfortunately they don't appear to have an A4H or A4HT manual for comparison.

It is a 486 Vesa-Local-Bus PC. The Mainboard support 486DX4 CPUs. My intel-486DX4-75 is shown correctly but my AMD-486DX4-100 is shown as 486DX66. I hope, that a BIOS Update will fix that error.

Even the latset BIOS for that board may not cover certain AMD CPUs as everything was pretty Intel-centric back then. -- Shaun.
