The 's' key's definitely stuck. The spring is worn out/broken or the contact is shorted - repair or replace.

If it's the spring, the key is in a permanent 'pressed' position. If it isn't, it's a short in the matrix - you'd have to (carefully) disassemble the backplate and take a look at the contact foils. Possibly just glued together by dirt and time.
