Make sure you have a URL in your paste buffer.
Type a word in an empty cell in Calc, do not leave the cell
Type Ctrl-a to select all text in the cell
Type Ctrl-k to add a hyperlink
Type Ctrl-p to paste the URL
Type <enter> to leave the Hyperlink window

Expected result:
A hyperlink added to the with Ctrl-a selected text.

Actual result:
The with Ctrl-a selected text is inserted again with a hyperlink

I am using LibreOffice in GNOME Wayland on Fedora 34.

From my perspective you entered "word" twice. The first step "Type a word in an empty cell in Calc, do not leave the cell" is not finished, since the instruction does not contain a step "Type ENTER key` to make "word" a content of the cell. Calling CRTL-K calls the dialog, takes the buffer "word" and adds a link. And now you finalize both edits in a single step by "Type <enter>".

I can follow your reasoning, but in my opinion it is counter intuitive and inconsistent with this scenario:

Type a word in an empty cell in Calc
Leave the cell
Doubleclick in the cell again to start editing it
Type Ctrl-a to select all text in the cell
Type Ctrl-k to add a hyperlink
Type Ctrl-p to paste the URL
Type <enter> to leave the Hyperlink window
In this case, there is no extra text added. And this behavior is intuitive for me.

confirm in

If you go through first scenario:
"Type a word in an empty cell in Calc, do not leave the cell
Type Ctrl-a to select all text in the cell
Type Ctrl-k to add a hyperlink
Type Ctrl-p to paste the URL
Type <enter> to leave the Hyperlink window"
