A more idiomatic approach is I am seldom wrong. – 3kstc Aug 25 '17 at 12:10

Grammatically it is correct. As these are
Often I am wrong.
Sometimes I am wrong.
Frequently I am wrong.
But inverted word order is also correct.
Seldom am I wrong.
Perhaps better than both is this:
I am seldom wrong.

No; (unlike 'often' etc) 'seldom' is a negative polarity item and triggers mandatory inversion. – Edwin Ashworth Aug 25 '17 at 10:54
