With Ventura there is no icon for My Passport (backup disc) so I can't eject it.
Is it safe to disconnect My Passport backup disk when there is no icon for it?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.0

First verify you have the Finder >Settings>General> External Disk checked
I will say I have seen this same bug/ glitch running Ventura macOS 13.0.1
I use the Terminal.app command line to unmount, copy and paste:
diskutil umount
notice the trailing blank space here you can manually type in the name of your drive, including the path /Volumes/
ex.
MacBook-Pro ~ % diskutil umount /Volumes/Untitled
Volume Untitled on disk2s2 unmounted
MacBook-Pro ~ %

Other possibility if shown in DiskUtility.app
