The problem you are getting meens that your MySQL Server has been upgraded but your PHP does not support the new method.

That other PHP applications seem unaffacted may happen because they are using the MySQLi interface.

Please talk to your Server Administrator to upgrade PHP with the matching client library for MySQL.

You can google for that error message, it is not specific to Serendipity; so either the software you talk about has upgraded your MySQL, or somebody else upgraded your MySQL...

If MySQLi extension is available in your PHP install you can try to edit your serendipity_config_local.inc.php file and replace "mysql" with "mysqli".
