If I let go, my baby immediately falls. How many seconds should a baby this age be able to stand without support?

Your baby not being able to stand alone without support is very common at this stage.
According to standard developmental charts, babies 9-12 months start holding onto furniture and standing with support. Solo standing without support for a few seconds typically develops between 11-14 months. A 12-month-old who can stand alone for a few seconds is considered within normal range; by 18 months, standing time gradually increases.
If your baby is under 14 months, immediately falling when let go is developmentally expected and not concerning. Balance and leg muscle strength develop gradually. Frequent sitting, crawling, and pulling-up practice all build the foundation. If your baby is 18 months or older and still can't stand unsupported at all, it's worth checking with your pediatrician.
