Perhaps there's a worn part inside a keyswitch, that makes continuous

contact even when the spring-loaded section moves out of the way.

Maybe a service inspection and diagnostic should be done by Apple

trained service specialist or first looked into by Apple store genius..

a determination by them may be to effect a repair by greater means.
