x86_64-v2 is a baseline requirement for all releases and spins of RHEL 9 including CentOS Stream 9. That generally means using a processor released after 2014 or so. Yours is not.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

The rationale was described in https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2021 ... ture-level

Xeon E5440 was one of the "Harpertown" models, released 2007-2008, and based on "Penryn microarchitecture". The Penryn was succeeded by Nehalem. The Nehalem did add SSE4.2 and POPCNT instructions and those might be first Intel CPU's that support all of x86-64-v2. Thus Intel has had some "x86-64-v2 level CPUs" since ~2009, while AMD CPUs included required instructions ~2014.

On hypervisors, such as ESXI, the issue can be that either the bare metal does not have required instructions or that the hypervisor does not pass them to virtual machines. In your case the rust is too old.
