Most likely because you setup the id="delete". Usually id attribute values are not duplicated.

echo "
";
echo "Delete";

The submit button gets the first ID and thus getting the first hidden input.

Alternatively, you could devise your button like this and serve as your marker:

No need to print each form!. Just wrap it with the table:

echo "";

echo '';
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    $prod_id = $row['prod_id'];
    echo "";
        echo "";
        echo "";
        echo "";
        echo "";
        echo "";
    echo '';
}

echo '
".$count."
".$row['prod_id']."
".$row['prod_name']."
".$row['prod_price']."
";
        // each id is assigned to each button, so that when its submitted you get the designated id, the one that you clicked
        echo "Delete";
        echo "
';
echo '';

Then in PHP processing:

if(isset($_GET['delete'])) // as usual
{
    include "connection.php";
    $prod_id = $_GET['delete']; // get the id
    // USE PREPARED STATEMENTS!!!
    $del="DELETE FROM products WHERE prod_id = ?";
    $delete = $link->prepare($del);
    $delete->bind_param('i', $prod_id);
    $delete->execute();
    // don't echo anything else, because you're going to use header
    if($delete->affected_rows > 0) {
        header('location:show_db.php');
    } else {
        echo 'Sorry delete did not push thru!';
    }
}
