It's an old HP 2709m. I don't see why it would be at fault and not the drivers, given that it's worked properly for nine years.

Not that the display would be at fault, but the older the hardware the more likely the OS and software might lose backward compatibility.
By the display's own controls, I mean the buttons/touch/even knobs(!) many displays have to directly control things like brightness, contrast, image size and position fine tuning controls.
Also, if you are game to try installing the Intel 25.20.100.6471 driver package again, it should install the Intel Graphics Control Panel, which has several options for display sizing and scaling that might bring the desktop back into line.
Intel pushed another driver this morning, but it had the same problem.
There's nothing obvious in the driver settings to deal with this. I uninstalled again.
Sorry I have not been any help, but I can't think of much else to try.
If you go to Dell's support and drivers page:
https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04?app=drivers
and enter your system's Service Tag or other ID number, it might have a link to ask them about the problem, or the prospect of an updated OEM driver for your Dell system. Hope you cand find something there...
Meanwhile, I reinstalled the driver Intel pushed to me this morning. Same problem. I opened the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel, and selected Display, and then Customize Aspect Ratio. I shrank the X and Y axes to 95%, which put the whole screen into view, and then returned them to 100%. That solved the problem: no more overscan.
And now I can move on with 1809, and continue to use my venerable old HP 2709m.
