COMMENTS
The coefficients of the ZS1 matrix are defined by ZS1[2*m-1,n] = (2^(2*m-1))*int(y^(2*m-1)/(sinh(y))^(2*n), y=0..infinity)/factorial(2*m-1) for m = 1, 2, 3, .. and n = 1, 2, 3, .. under the condition that n <= (m-1).
This definition leads to ZS1[2*m-1,n=1] = 2*zeta(2*m-1), for m = 2, 3, .. , and the recurrence relation ZS1[2*m-1,n]:=(1/(2*n-1))*((2/(n-1))*ZS1[2*m-3,n-1]-(2*n-2)*ZS1[2*m-1,n-1]). As usual zeta(m) is the Riemann zeta function. These two formulas enable us to determine the values of the ZS[2*m-1,n] coefficients, with m all integers and n all positive integers, but not for all. If we choose, somewhat but not entirely arbitrarily, ZS1[1,n=1] = 2*gamma, with gamma the Euler-Mascheroni constant, we can determine them all.
The coefficients in the columns of the ZS1 matrix, for m = 1, 2, 3, .., and n = 2, 3, 4 .. , can be generated with the GH(z;n) polynomials for which we found the following general expression GH(z;n) = (h(n)*CFN1(z;n)*GH(z;n=1) + ZETA(z;n))/p(n).
The CFN1(z;n) polynomials depend on the central factorial numbers A008955.
The ZETA(z;n) are the Zeta polynomials which lead to the Zeta triangle.
The zero patterns of the Zeta polynomials resemble a UFO. These patterns resemble those of the Eta, Beta and Lambda polynomials, see A160464, A160480 and A160487.
The first Maple algorithm generates the coefficients of the Zeta triangle. The second Maple algorithm generates the ZS1[2*m-1,n] coefficients for m= 0, -1, -2, .. .
The M(n) sequence, see the second Maple algorithm, leads to Gould's sequence A001316 and a sequence that resembles the denominators in Taylor series for tan(x), i.e., A156769(n).
Some of our results are conjectures based on numerical evidence.

FORMULA
We discovered a remarkable relation between the Zeta triangle coefficients ZETA(n,m) = ZL(n)*(ZETA(n-1,m-1)-(n-1)^2*ZETA(n-1,m)) for n = 3, 4, ... and m = 2, 3, .... See A160475 for ZETA(n,m=1) and furthermore ZETA(n,n) = 0 for n = 2, 3, ....
We observe that the ZL(n) = A160479(n) sequence also rules the Lambda triangle A160487.
The generating functions GH(z;n) of the coefficients in the matrix columns are defined by
GH(z;n) = sum(ZS1[2*m-1,n]*z^(2*m-2), m=1..infinity), with n = 1, 2, 3, .... This definition, and our choice of ZS1[1,1] = 2*gamma, leads to GH(z;n=1) = (-Psi(1-z)-Psi(1+z)) with Psi(z) the digamma-function. Furthermore we discovered that GH(z;n) = GH(z;n-1)*(2*z^2/((2*n-1)*(n-1))-(2*n-2)/(2*n-1))+2*ZS1[ -1,n-1]/((2*n-1)*(n-1)) for n = 2, 3 , ..., with ZS1[ -1,n] = 2^(2*n-1)*A002195(n)/A002196(n) for n = 1, 2, ....
We found the following general expression for the GH(z;n) polynomials, for n = 2, 3, ...:
GH(z;n) = (h(n)*CFN1(z;n)*GH(z;n=1) + ZETA(z;n))/p(n) with
h(n) = 6*A160476(n) and p(n) = A160478(n).
EXAMPLE
The first few rows of the triangle ZETA(n,m) with n=2,3,... and m=1,2,... are
[ -1],
[51, -10],
[ -10594, 2961, -210],
[356487, -115940, 12642, -420].
The first few ZETA(z;n) polynomials are
ZETA(z;n=2) = -1,
ZETA(z;n=3) = 51-10*z^2,
ZETA(z;n=4) = -10594 + 2961*z^2 - 210*z^4.
The first few CFN1(z;n) polynomials are
CFN1(z;n=2) = (z^2-1),
CFN1(z;n=3) = (z^4 - 5*z^2 + 4),
CFN1(z;n=4) = (z^6 - 14*z^4 + 49*z^2 - 36).
The first few generating functions GH(z;n) are
GH(z;n=2) = (6*(z^2-1)*GH(z;n=1) + (-1)) / 9,
GH(z;n=3) = (60*(z^4-5*z^2+4)*GH(z;n=1) + (51-10*z^2)) / 450,
GH(z;n=4) = (1260*(z^6-14*z^4+49*z^2-36)*GH(z;n=1) + (-10594+2961*z^2-210*z^4))/99225.
