On my remote, it's called "Pic Size". You might also look for something called Aspect Ratio. Do you have cats? You might try them to see if they know.

If controls were switched -- the cats must have done it in the middle of the night.

I can find absolutely nothing that appears to change the aspect ratio -- however, the tv appears to be trying to self-correct.
So frustrating.

What's the model of the tv?

It's a Zenith. I don't know more about it, because it was my father's. My brother took it when he died (in '95) and then gave it to me when he got a new tv. So, it's more than 10 years old. It's doomed, isn't it?

All is well that ends in pizza.
Your Zenith may have seen its nadir.

I'll see if I can find my TV repair link, it might give us some idea of how big of a job it is.
Try turning it off and unplugging it for a few minutes.
Can't hurt.

Well, that appears to have worked . . . but I think I better be pricing out tvs when I'm out in the general shopping area.
(I unplugged it for 5 minutes, then plugged it back in -- still not fullscreen, so I turned it off and turned it on again and it was back. Whew.)

Yeah, that's typically one of the signs of a TV tube about to give up the ghost.
