Faulty key/ keyboard. The computer thinks that the '6' key is being held down.

Either press it until it stops, it might just be a bit stuck.

Otherwise you will need to replace the keyboard. If it feels exactly like the other keys when pressed and released it means that it is not the key itself but the keyboard that is faulty.
