Many people would say that it does not fail WCAG -- some say it does. I suppose if it looks like a button you have a case to argue for SC 1.3.1 Information and Relationships -- but arguably this issue is problematic for all users as you really don't know what's going to happen when you click a visual link or button as some designs use them interchangeably.

Subject: [WebAIM] Use of hyperlinks instead of buttons
Hello group,
I am auditing a site right now. I've been looking throught WCAG criterias, techniques and failure but I haven't found the answer to my question yet.
In the site, they have used hyperlinks were it should have been buttons.
For example, there is a print link that lauches the browser's print functionality.
Under which criteria does it fail WCAG?
Thanks
Bruno
