My T430 has the same layout with the PrtSc (Print Screen) button between the right hand side ALt and Ctrl keys. I used to have this problem, I assume that my fingers have simply adjusted since it still pulls up the KDE screen capture app when I press it.
You could probably choose a different keyboard shortcut (or disable it altogether if you like). I have not used Cinnimon so I am not sure where that particular setting would be located.
