I believe that this is referring to the NVRAM on the motherboard not the boot disk.

I also believe that.  NVRAM on an older machine may have limited space, so if cruft
has accumulated the NVRAM could be full.
See: https://ruuucker.github.io/EFI-Basics-NVRAM-Variables/

I had this happen to one of my machines and the fix was to reset the efivar’s on the motherboard and setup efi boot again.

From <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonvolatile_BIOS_memory>: "by many OEMs' design, 
the UEFI settings are still lost if the CMOS battery fails."    So removing the battery may
free up space.
