Usually condensed keyboards have some alternate positions for the missing keys, with some legends printed on them. I suppose your keyboard preferences may recognise your keyboard as one of them, even if it's wrong. You could try looking for keymaps for your particular keyboard, or for whatever keyboard your preferences has selected. Extended keyboards carry the function keys beyond F12 straight across, with F13 being in the usual PrtScrn key position, F14 ScrLock, F15 Pause, etc. Those keys *may* directly act as F keys or the other functions, or may do so when pressed with some other qualifier (shift, alt, ctrl, fn, logo, etc). If it's only happening in Emacs (which I haven't attempted to use in 30 years), perhaps you can redefine it to some key that makes sense to you. https://www.google.com/search?&q=emacs+scroll+lock+key+combination threw this up: Scroll Lock on keyboards without a Scroll Lock key Fn + S or Fn + F6 on certain Dell laptops. Fn + C or Fn + K on certain Lenovo laptops. Fn + C on certain HP laptops. Fn + F11 on Windows.
