Keyboard keys seem to be "crossed", typing extra keys after only one input. Is this water damage, or something else? (Windows 10)

Post Body
Last night and I was closing my laptop lid, I dripped a tiny bit of water (less than 1/8th teaspoon) on the integrated keyboard. It was so little water, I wasn't concerned. This morning, I noticed the keyboard behaving weirdly.
I used keyboardtester.com to see which keys are problematic. Here's what I found:
| Input | Output |
|---|---|
| f3 or i | f3 i PgUp |
| f4 or f6 | f4 f6 WIN |
| f5 or Caps | f5 Caps Num7 |
| f7 | f7 e PgUp (sometimes, e f7 Num9) |
| Home | Home 3 |
| PgUp | PgUp f3 |
| PgDwn or k | PgDwn NumLck k |
| NumLck | NumLck PgDwn |
| * or Space | * Space |
| Num7 | Num7 caps |
| Num9 | Num9 e |
| NumEnter or , | NumEnter Enter , |
| 3 or 8 | 3 8 Home |
| e | e f7 Num9 |
| Win | Win f4 |
Everything works fine with the onscreen keyboard.
The keyboard does not type anything on it's own.
What I've tried so far:
- restarting computer.
- updating keyboard drivers.
- deleting keyboard drivers.
Does this seem like water damage, or is it possibly a hardware issue?
Thank you!
