So it doesn’t support emacs older than 27.

 ;; Package-Requires: ((svg “0.1") (emacs "25.0"))

Thanks for reporting.  I'll have a look.

Changed the Package-Requires statement to ((svg "1.0") (emacs "27.0")).

Next step would be to increase the package version of svg-clock from 1.1
to 1.2 to trigger deployment of the modified version.  But this new
version would be visible only for emacs 27 (and up) iiuc.  Emacs<26
users would still see the broken version.

Shall we create and deploy a 1.1a (or something) that makes svg-clock
usable again for emacsen before 27?

I see that the version has already been increased...

... which I guess makes this point moot.  So I'm closing this bug report.
