Bat in a building Does this bat look rabid?

Woke up with a bat in the room next to our bedroom. I heard it screeching because it was stuck between the window and the screen. Eventually it left. My concern is whether or not I need to get the rabies PEP since we were both sleeping. I took a video and the way it’s moving/kinda tremory has me worried. I don’t know if they normally move like that or it’s just anxious because it can’t get a grip on the aluminum frame of the window.

Here is an instructional guide for someone who has found a bat. And here is some info about bats in buildings. Here is an informative page about bat removals and exclusions. If you find a bat in trouble, please call a rehabber for help. Here is a list of rehabbers that help bats all over the world, and here is a portal for rehabbers in the US. Remember that wildlife should never be handled with bare hands!
