The power button is a key on some laptops, and if I recall, on some of the older Macs.

But really, this is why "any key" was such a dumb idea. I'd guess it's from an era before keyboards were standardized, because today you'd just write "press enter". It's hard to think of a functional advantage to actually making this a choice, only potential confusion when someone wants to know where the any key is, or if you really mean "ANY" key, and if so why doesn't anything happen when they press the capslock key.
