There is also a chance that the plastics used are hyposcopic (they
absorb moisture). Does this calculator use a flex cable?

The flux residue on a printed circuit board is hyposcopic...add excess
humidity and new current paths are created.

Also certain components like carbon resistors change their values as
the humidity changes.

There is a good reason why manufacturers list operational and storage
ranges for temperature and humidity.
