You can change it or disable using below

Change It

server_tokens "off";
more_set_headers "Server: Your_New_Server_Name";

or

Delete it

server_tokens "off";
more_clear_headers   "Server";

PS: Above requires the module https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/modules/headers_more/

On the commercial version you can just do 

server_tokens "";

And this will disable the server tokens
