My spare dell keyboard keeps showing different character or generates multiple different letters when I type.

Ex: when I press "H", h7 appears on screen as if I had press both of those keys. It does this for a few other keys.

I opened it up and cleaned it out just to make sure nothing (small wire debris, metal shavings, etc) was shorting something. It didn't do anything.

This also only happens on this keyboard.

Well, it's a Dell keyboard, what do you expect? 

 

OEM KBs are pretty crappy in quality. Probably a KB gone bad.
