The keys look very like the keys on the Commodore 796M calculator I used ot have, which I beleive is the rubber membrane type, so I'd imagine Sirius's suggestion might be the case.

And yes, the legends on Commodore calculators of that era were moulded into the keys. Later ones with multifunction keys had printed aluminised labels like the PET chicklet keyboard.
