Hello .
No , The blood pressure mentioned is perfectly in normal range and it wouldn't harm your father is any way . Upper / systolic blood pressure between 120-140 and lower blood pressure between 70-90 would be a good range for your father . Also as you have recorded the blood pressure with an electronic machine +/- 5 variation is generally present . So don't worry for the same .
