I am trying to: access the backend of the website.

I visited this URL: pamannmarketing.com/wp-admin

I expected to see: the WordPress dashboard.

Instead, I got: a parse error "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /home/stabby5/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-views/inc/ct-editor/section-content.php on line 97". If I deactivate the WP Views plugin by renaming the folder, the site backend loads.

I don't want to replace the folder with a fresh download of the Views plugin in case it overrides all the views that we have already created and have running on the site.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

1)
I can see you are using number of third party plugins.

Could you please try to resolve your issue by deactivating all third-party plugins as well as with the default theme to check for any possible conflicts with any of the plugins or themes?

=> No - if you deactivate and delete the views plugin and replace with fresh copy - install latest version, it will not delete your existing views.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
Could you please try to install fresh copy of plugin and try to check if that helps to resolve your issue.
