What are the security implications of using an old computer with no more BIOS updates?

What are the potential security implications of using older unsupported motheboards/laptops that do not get BIOS(UEFI) updates any more, but run an up to date GNU/Linux distribution? Do measures like using secure boot or setting up a BIOS password help mitigate any of the potential threats?
