Now what? See if it trips again? Replace breaker (looks hard and

for a very old man to do)? Other?

I'd leave it go, till the next trip. Note what's
doing at the moment it trips. Did it trip while
you turned the oven on?

If it trips when turn oven or breaker//////
BURNER on, might
be a shorted element.

Some further diagnostic is needed, here.

Different panels, different level of difficulty
to replace breakers.
