Not at all . Pressing the button on any moderately modern PC only unleashes the same command that is given to the operating system by touching the shutdown icon
Since the introduction of the Atx format this is true.
On the other hand, if you keep pressing the button for 4 or 5 seconds it DOES turn off the power supply suddenly which can result in damage to the file system and/or hard drive.
An abrupt shutdown is always bad for a computer. File descriptors are open and that's potentially a risk.
Nowadays many PCs intercept the press of the power button and simply hibernate, go into standby or perform an orderly shutdown. You can detect this because when you press the Power button, it does not shut down directly, but after a few seconds. If this is your case, you can rest assured.
However, if it shuts down directly as you press it, you run the risk that one day it won't start up or will do so with problems.
