Monte is quite right of course, but as a word of further explanation, it's behaving as if
1. You had a module plugged in at one point,
2. Then assigned that key (in USER mode) to a function on the π key.
3. Then unplugged the module without removing the key assignment.

So you pressing the key is trying to execute a function assigned to the key, but the function isn't available anymore because its plug-in ROM was removed. The XROM 03,46 indicates that it is function #46 on one of the several modules that has an XROM code of 03. There are several modules that used code 3, but my far the most common would have been the HP Survey Pac. So if you (or some previous owner) every had on in the calculator and assigned a function to the π key, that would explain it.

But, it sounds like the batteries have been out a bunch of times which should have cleared those assignments. So, it's a little unclear how that one is still resident.

In any event, Monte's vice on how to clear it will do the trick.
