  Comments:
That's an example of 滅多に, which is different from the adjective sense here. It's not the adverbial form of this sense.
Not n-pref as it isn't a noun.

  Comments:
Although 滅多に...〜ない means "rarely; seldom", the adjective 滅多 doesn't ever mean "seldom; rare". 
I don't think the archaic sense is needed.
