A potential employer contacted me last Monday to arrange an interview for the following Wednesday. HR has since rescheduled the interview FOUR times. I'm staying professional, but it's getting annoying. Part of me wonders if this chaos is a sign of what working there would be like. Am I overthinking?

Personally, I dont think you are over thinking it - it probably is a sign. Four times is a bit excessive.

I'd still take the interview though - it's practice if anything.

Sounds like they might not be respecting you, your time, your value. HOWEVER, maybe they are trying to make sure when you are there, they are truly able to focus on you… there could be some very unusual personal issues with your interviewer OR some very unusual transaction/situation/regulatory issue/etc. OR HR individual is crappy at his/her job by confirming with you (instead of stating it’s a placeholder) before confirming with interviewer(s) OR … some other reason that has nothing to do with you or the work environment.

If you really want to job based on what you know other than this, it might be worth asking HR if there is any reason they can share for all the reschedules.
