I own an ab340 gaming rev1 from Gigabyte. Last year I modified the BIOS, but I mistakenly changed the BIOS for the gigabyte ab350m gaming 3, so now my motherboard believes it's a different model. What should I do to fix this?

My real motherboard is the one without the PCIe slots, while the version with them believes it has the PCIe ports. This mix-up happened because of a mistake during the BIOS update.

Alternatively, you can revert it to the AB340 BIOS settings or, if everything functions properly, don’t stress about it. If you changed it last year and it’s been fine, continue using it but consider updating to the latest "Correct" BIOS—this should restore proper functionality.

I agree with the first part: let it ride. I wouldn't update the bios to the correct one unless something is actually not functional. (But I come from the old school where it was actually risky to flash bios)

Find a driver that supports your Arc GPU and ensure your BIOS recognizes it.

You can update the latest BIOS on your actual motherboard directly.

It seems you're curious about changing the BIOS settings on a device. Generally, the manufacturer suggests using the F option to flash the wrong BIOS version.

Could be because they sound alike.

So do I, that's why these days I use a programmer whenever possible. I don't see why not. Just try it and see what happens but be sure to use the very lastest version for the board you have.
