It is obtained directly from the hardware driver as attribute hardware_name
<https://www.weewx.com/docs/5.4/custom/drivers/#hardware_name>, which all
well-behaved drivers should have implemented.
If you don't like what it is returning, you can change the template
about.inc to anything you want. For example, change this
<tr>
<td class="label">$gettext("Hardware")</td>
<td class="data">$station.hardware</td>
</tr>
to this
<tr>
<td class="label">$gettext("Hardware")</td>
<td class="data">My very special hardware name</td>
</tr>
