Ingo Gerth, as per the forum post of another HP EliteBook 8560w (different
card), NVIDIA advised to update the BIOS, and another user advised that
updating the driver to 375.66 worked for them:
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/539462/linux/-nvidia-319-12-brightness-controls-not-working-on-laptop-ubuntu-13-03-/5
Could you please advise on your BIOS version, update to a supported
version of Ubuntu, and advise if testing the latest NVIDIA driver for
your release works?

Title:
10de:0dfa [HP EliteBook 8560w] Changing the screen brightness does not
work anymore in 319.xx
Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-319 package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Changing the screen brightness always used to work on my HP Elitebook
8560w -- both with the function keys and in the dialog "Brightness &
Lock" in the system settings. The environment light sensor also used
to work IIRC.
Since the update to 13.10, this stopped working. Methods I have tried that
didn't work for adapting the brightness are:
* Adding GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_backlight=vendor" to /etc/default/grub
* Adding GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”acpi_osi="!Windows 2012" to /etc/default/grub
Currently I am changing the brightness manually using xrandr --output
LVDS-0 --brightness 0.9. However, AFAIK this does not really change
the brightness, but only changes the contrast.
WORKAROUND: Use nvidia-graphics-drivers-304.
