Don't use that laptop anymore, the battery is bulging. Turn it off, take the battery out, and put the battery outside away from the building, preferably in a metal bucket
Be careful when removing the battery

Remove the storage drive as well. You can plug it into something else to extract the data

how do i take the battery out
and i cant just put it in a metal bucket outside
as i live in apartments
can i still put in a new battery though
im trying to take off the backpanel thingy but its tight as fuck

Know what, just get the whole laptop somewhere that it's not gonna damage much if the battery does burst until you can get it to a place that can replace the battery

I say that because if you puncture the battery, it will explode fast
undone cypress
well iff the laptop would let me open the backpanel i could do it

If you can't get the panel off, don't force it

its been a bit and i havent done it yet
but i did manage to open the backplate using a video
just cant get the screws loose from the battery cause they are tight as fuck
and only have this screwdriver thats the size of my pinky that fits in the hole
I decided while im gonna replace the battery ill also just upgrade its ram at the same time
wispy sail
nice
if you need to
you can probably just idk drill the battery off
idk
you can use a knife to like cut it off
don't do this if you need the surrounding area to actually work
jk
don't do that
it will absolutely destroy the mobo

Leave. This is something that can burn bro's apartment complex down.
Bloated lithium batteries aren't something you want to be using a knife literal centimeters from
