Currently Nichijō (OAV) is listed as a prequel of the TV series, but it was released before the TV series started airing. I thought a prequel had to be released after the thing it is a prequel to. Shouldn't the link go the other way, with the TV series being listed as a sequel?

IIRC, the OVA would more accurately be a "side story". It doesn't take place before the beginning of the TV series because I'm pretty sure the OVA at least is past Sakamoto's introduction in the TV series.

I've removed the prequel link, but I'm not sure if the TV series could be considered as a sequel, as the OVA is more like a bonus item for the manga.
