If his product improved enough to price it so much greater, he should have versioned his product. If his "improvements" were just a farce and he just wanted to increase the price, then it is a bait and switch. Either way, this boils down to him being bad at business.
But with reruns, they should include a disclaimer that says the original date and that prices may have changed.

No, he shouldn't be forced to version his product. Being taken advantage of by a large media house != being bad at business.

He changed his product. That was his choice. It was also his choice to appear on Shark Tank. Two times.

So if someone runs across an old Craftsman add for a $2.00 philips head screwdriver that's $5.00 today, even though it hasn't changed (if anything it's probably cheaper to produce), they're dishonest?
