How do I fix the iOS 11 update not appearing on an iPad? Oddly, the Software Update menu item in the Settings app is showing a red “1” badge, indicating that an update is available. But when opening the item, there’s only a message that the iPad is running iOS 10.3.3 and is up to date. This seems like a bug? I already tried restarting the iPad, but this hasn’t resolved the problem. The iPad is a family member’s iPad Air 2, and there’s more than enough free space to download the update (> 30gb). Is there anything else I can try or is my only recourse to bring a laptop and use iTunes?

Unfortunately, Apple do not officially support iOS 8 on the original iPad (or, as you refer to it, iPad 1). This screenshot of the "iOS 8 is compatible with" section does not list your device:
It is strange that your device is trying to update to an iOS version beyond the maximum of 5.1.1:
It is one of three things:
- A bug in the update software;
- Your iPad is in fact a later iPad, or;
- You are not running iOS 8
Could you provide a screenshot of your General > About screen,
to see both what iOS you are indeed running, and which device you have. Also, a screenshot of the Software Update page would be interesting.
You can take a screen shot by holding down both the home and power buttons simultaneously.
You say that your icons are similar to those on iPhone. Have you jailbroken the iPad at all..?
Instead of trying to update over the wifi, which can cause memory issues, connect it to a Mac or PC and try updating via iTunes.

Try restarting it one more time using a force restart. After that it should appear in Settings.
