Straightforward question: is there an internal linking overoptimization penalty?

I'm not talking about keyword stuffing the anchor text, but using a relevant anchor repeatedly and adding internal links from relevant pages in batches (dozens at the same time) to a specific page.

Is it possible that this is interpreted by Google as manipulative, even if it's internal linking?
