'Premature' being states that turned out to be so close that it didn't justify them being called so early.
Here's the ones I'm aware of. Feel free to add more.
1960 - California (called wrongly for Kennedy by NBC, which actually meant that he was declared the winner) and Hawaii (called wrongly for Nixon).
1980 - A number of very close Southern states were called pretty much as polls closed. Among them I think we're MS, TN and AL, all of which voted by around 1% for Reagan
1992 - Georgia called for Clinton as soon as polls closed. His margin was under 1%.
2000 - New Mexico called for Gore fairly early (before the West Coast polls closed I think) and then had to be retracted because it was within a few hundred votes. I think there was some other case in this election too, not sure.
2020 - Arizona called for Biden on election night and was well under 1%.
