I noticed that the SMC version is the latest version, but the Boot ROM version is older for my MacBook Pro model than the one on this list: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201518
In the system report I have:

Please for further guidance. Thank you!
MacBook Pro 17", macOS 10.13
If you ever ran 10.12.6, you are likely up-to-date even if it does not look like it. The numbering system has changed a bit when you get beyond 10.12.6.
If you never ran 10.12.6, consider installing it on a spare drive to get the appropriate firmware update. I do not recommend trying to install the antique firmware you found in that out-of-date article.

You may attempt to download the update from here.
Mac EFI Security Update 2015-002
Note the article with the list you referenced is archived and no longer updated, so there may well be newer versions of the firmware.
If you have run 10.13.6, even for a moment, you likely have the correct firmware for your Mac Pro 6,1.
And what version of OS X might you be using?
OS X 10.9.5 (Mavericks) is now about six years old.
The problem with Boot Rom shows me that when turning on the MacBook Pro and logging in I have a gray login background and I should have transparent as it is from the High Sierra version ...

BTW. I have a smack at format disk and install again fresh Mac OS on my MacBook Pro
Hi Marylka,
This could be due to the age of your Mac. My Late 2012 iMac is running the latest version of macOS (Catalina) but still shows a gray login screen when it starts up. However, this condition only occurs if you're using FileVault, and you're logging in for the first time since startup. (If you're not using FileVault, the login screen shouldn't be gray.)
What actually happens at that moment is that macOS isn't even running yet. Instead, you've been launched into a pre-boot environment that's supposed to mimic the macOS login screen. Once you enter your credentials, your hashed password serves as a key to unlock your startup volume, and your Mac begins to boot macOS. The real login window is skipped, and your password is forwarded to macOS so that you don't have to enter it twice.
If you log out of your Mac (but don't restart or shut down), the login screen should look transparent.
Thank You.
