Display Brightness adjustment window stuck in menu bar

For some reason there's a Display Brightness adjustment window in my menu bar. I had never set this in my system to "Always Show". This unwanted window is not working, cannot be moved and does not show when other windows are active. It only shows when the desktop is displayed. How to remove this?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.2
