Is there a way, similar to denoting keyboard shortcuts, to denote buttons on SE posts? I thought it would make things much more readable.

No, there isn't.
If you don't want to abuse button or button or button or button or button or button you're out of luck.
The very creative could probably abuse some unicode but I guess that is about it.
<kbd>button</kbd>
[tag:button]
**button**
*button*
<sup>button</sup>
<sub>button</sub>
Or pick some other options from the allowed html to see if you can construct something that resembles a button better then my futile attempt.
With the kind help of Andras Deak this beauty came up: 📻 Radio button or experiment with this

Using
kbdmarkup in something like "Click the Add Comment button" is not abusing it.– unorFeb 28, 2016 at 0:03 -
[tag:button]doesn't work if there are spaces like [tag:Add Comment] :/ Feb 28, 2016 at 0:18 -
@David of course not, tags can't have spaces and never meant to be abused for markdown to begin with. Personally I'll roll back and remove such horrible formatting. Feb 28, 2016 at 12:09
Add Commentbutton at the right of the comment text-field," I'd want to show some kind of button image rather than using a codeblock, for example, or a kbd block, or a bold block, because it's more readable.
