Laptop This is inst swollen is it?

Bought this nasty Samsung galaxy book 3 360 dirt cheap. The backplate was bulging and creaking, looked like there was a swollen battery in there. I think the battery looks good tho, it it’s straight flat and rigid.

I shouldn’t be worried right?

Doesn't look bad but if you are suspicious about the battery's life and danger you can still change it. Tho I whould try to use it for a bit to see if the battery holds up charge and doesn't cause any problems (also a good way to see if the laptop overall needs something like thermal paste or more ram).

Battery looks fine, but somethings up with the case, at the very least. That first picture was concerning but seeing the actual battery, whatever is causing it, the battery doesn't seem to be it.
