This is the row reversed second-order Eulerian triangle A008517(k+1,k+1-m). For references see A008517.
The o.g.f. for the k-th diagonal, k >= 1, of the unsigned Stirling1 triangle |A008275| is G1(1,x)=1/(1-x) if k=1 and G1(k,x) = g1(k-2,x)/(1-x)^(2*k-1), if k >= 2, with the row polynomials g1(k;x):=Sum_{m=0..k} a(k,m)*x^m.
The recurrence eq. for the row polynomials is g1(k,x)=((k+1)+k*x)*g1(k-1,x) + x*(1-x)*(d/dx)g1(k-1,x), k >= 1, with input g1(0,x):=1.
The column sequences start with A000142 (factorials), A002538, A002539, A112008, A112485.
This o.g.f. computation was inspired by Bender et al. article where the Stirling polynomials have been rediscussed.
The A163936 triangle is identical to the triangle given above except for an extra right hand column [1, 0, 0, 0, ... ]. The A163936 triangle is related to the higher order exponential integrals E(x,m,n), see A163931 and A163932. - Johannes W. Meijer, Oct 16 2009

The second-order Eulerian number E2(n, k) is the number of Stirling permutations of order n with exactly k descents; here the last index is defined to be a descent. More formally, let Q_n denote the set of permutations of the multiset {1,1,2,2, ..., n,n} in which, for all j, all entries between two occurrences of j are larger than j, then E2(n, k) = card({s in Q_n with des(s) = k}), where des(s) = card({j: s(j) > s(j+1)}) is the number of descents of s.
Also the number of Riordan trapezoidal words of length n with k distinct letters (see Riordan 1976, p. 9).
Also the number of rooted plane trees on n + 1 vertices with k leaves (see Janson 2008, p. 543).
Let b(n) = (1/2)*Sum_{k=0..n-1} (-1)^k*E2(n-1, k+1) / C(2*n-1, k+1). Apparently b(n) = Bernoulli(n, 1) = -n*Zeta(1 - n) = Integral_{x=0..1}F_n(x) for n >= 1. Here F_n(x) are the signed Fubini polynomials (A278075). (See Rzadkowski and Urlinska, example 4.)

Indexing the second-order Eulerian numbers comes in three flavors: A008517 (following Riordan and Comtet), A201637 (following Graham, Knuth, and Patashnik) and this indexing, extending the definition of Gessel and Stanley. (A008517 is the main entry of the numbers.) The corresponding triangles of the first-order Eulerian numbers are A008292, A173018, and A123125.

The asymptotic expansions of the higher-order exponential integral E(x,m=1,n) lead to triangle A130524, see A163931 for information on E(x,m,n). The o.g.f.s. of the right-hand columns of triangle A130534 have a nice structure: gf(p) = W1(z,p)/(1-z)^(2*p-1) with p = 1 for the first right-hand column, p = 2 for the second right-hand column, etc. The coefficients of the W1(z,p) polynomials lead to the triangle given above, n >= 1 and 1 <= m <= n. Our triangle is the same as A112007 with an extra right-hand column, see also the second Eulerian triangle A008517. The row sums of our triangle lead to A001147.
We observe that the row sums of the triangles A163936 (m=1), A163937 (m=2), A163938 (m=3) and A163939 (m=4) for z=1 lead to A001147, A001147 (minus a(0)), A001879 and A000457 which are the first four left-hand columns of the triangle of the Bessel coefficients A001497 or, if one wishes, the right-hand columns of A001498. We checked this phenomenon for a few more values of m and found that this pattern persists: m = 5 leads to A001880, m=6 to A001881, m=7 to A038121 and m=8 to A130563 which are the next left- (right-) hand columns of A001497 (A001498). An interesting phenomenon.
If one assumes the triangle not (1,1) based but (0,0) based, one has T(n, k) = E2(n, n-k), where E2(n, k) are the second-order Eulerian numbers A340556. - Peter Luschny, Feb 12 2021

Comments

See A201637, and also A008517 (offset 1 for rows and columns).
The row polynomials of this triangle P(n, x) = Sum_{m=0..n} T(n, m)*x^m appear as numerator polynomials in the o.g.f.s for the diagonal sequences of triangle A132393 (|Stirling1| with offset 0 for rows and columns). See the comment and the P. Bala link there.
For similar triangles see also A112007 and A163936.

Formula

T(n, m) = A201637(n, n-m), n >= m >= 0.
Recurrence: T(0, 0) = 1, T(n, -1) = 0, T(n, m) = 0 if n < m, (n-m+1)*T(n-1, m-1) + (n-1+m)*T(n-1, m), n >= 1, m = 0..n; from the A008517 recurrence.
T(0, 0) = 1, T(n, m) = Sum_{p = 0..m-1} (-1)^(n-p)*binomial(2*n+1, p)*A132393(n+m-p, m-p), n >= 1, m = 0..n; from a A008517 program.
T(n, k) = n! * [t^k][x^n] (t - 1)*(1/(W(-exp(((t - 1)^2*x - 1)/t)/t) + 1) - 1) where after expansion W(-exp(-1/t)/t) is substituted by (-1/t). [Inspired by a formula of Shamil Shakirov in A008517.] - Peter Luschny, Mar 13 2025
