Sometimes over time, your typewiter may need cleaning and a little typewriter oil. This will help move the keys more freely and loosen debris for removal.
As I see, all not typing keys are in one area.
Smith Corona Dictionary Typewriter is an electronic typewriter. It sounds like there is a contact problem between the keyboard and the electronics in that area. Maybe some kind of dirt got into this area. Good cleaning and lubrication solves many problems with typewriters. But it is better for specialists to do it.
You will have to push back the cover and, if those keys are bent, straighten them out.
I think the problem is in the dusty keyboard contacts. Just blow it out with an airline.
Next thing could be the mech that positions the disc with the letters on, make sure its in properly.
