I think the right face to use here is `button':

(defcustom apropos-label-face 'button
This sounds good to me. However in that case I would propose that the color of the button face is set to "blue". This would make the link more easily recognized. Since this face is also used for help mode it would have the same benefit there.

A note: Underlined blue is the most common way to tell something is a link on a web page. On quite a lot of pages I have seen underlined black text who are not links (this is in my opinion quite confusing and I do not recommend it, but I have seen it).
