You’re attempting to call a function in an argument feed; the :Connect() method is expecting a function callback, you instead ran the function in the parentheses where this callback is specified. This is a common mistake, simply remove the trailing parentheses at the end of onButtonPressed:

--// Your code was a bit unorganized, so I cleaned it and applied some efficiency changes.
local SocialService = game:GetService("SocialService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local Player = Players.LocalPlayer

local Button = script.Parent

function onButtonPressed()
    local Handler = SocialService.CanSendGameInviteAsync
    local Success, Result = pcall(Handler, SocialService, Player)
    if (Result) then
        SocialService:PromptGameInvite(Player)
    end
end

Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(onButtonPressed)
Button.TouchTap:Connect(onButtonPressed)
