Not true. Your iMac can run Mountain Lion (10.8), if you choose. Lion (10.7) is no longer offered for sale.

You can find specs on all Apple products, including maximum OS version:

• By visiting EveryMac.com
• By using Mactracker
• By entering your serial number here to find specs for your model.

I have the exact iMac you quote. It is currently running 10.8.3 with no issues. Has been running ML since its release.

You can buy Mountain Lion on the Mac App Store and download it. There's no need to visit a store.

It should run ML fine. The impact on performance seems to vary from one user to another. Some claim it's faster, some slower.

The real question is why do you want to upgrade? Is there some feature or function in ML that you want that isn't present with SL? I still run SL and have found no reason to upgrade, as ML offers nothing I need or want.
