It also sounds like you don't really like her and that the main draw to interacting with her is that you get to judge her.
I would drop her and focus on genuine friendships where you root for each other and operate with empathy and kindness. This is a waste of time.
But to answer your question, the main reason people brag (or exaggerate) like this is insecurity.

It’s an old family friend I can’t avoid occasionally interacting with.

Yes, I'm reading into this, but the way you describe her stories, which I think are lies, it seems like she has a super need for attention. Or acceptance? If I had a friend acting like that I might feel a little sorry for her, and wonder if there was something I could do to help.

If it annoys you though, you have to find a way out of that conversation or reconsider the friendship.
