Is there a way to find the exact value of the product $$P=\displaystyle\prod_{n=1}^{1007} \sin {\left(\dfrac{n\pi}{2015}\right)}$$

For all positive integers $n\in\mathbb{N}$, the following finite product identity holds:
$$\prod_{k=1}^{\lfloor\frac{n-1}{2}\rfloor}\sin{\left(\frac{\pi\,k}{n}\right)}=2^{\frac{1-n}{2}}\,\sqrt{n}~.$$
Since you have the good fortune that the pair of integers $1007$ and $2015$ satisfy the necessary arithmetic relationship, $\lfloor\frac{2015-1}{2}\rfloor=1007$, the above product identity applies.
By symmetry, your product is just: $$ P = \sqrt{\prod_{n=1}^{2014}\sin\frac{n \pi}{2015}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{2^{2014}}\prod_{n=1}^{2014}\left(\exp\left(\frac{2\pi i n}{2015}\right)-1\right)},$$ where the innermost product is the product of the roots of the polynomial: $$ \frac{(x+1)^{2015}-1}{x}.$$ Hence, by Vieta's theorem: $$ P = \sqrt{\frac{2015}{2^{2014}}} = \frac{\sqrt{2015}}{2^{1007}}.$$
