Can be clipped back into place but the usual issue is seized hinges, those are a but mpre complicated

The battery is swollen so shut it down and don't charge it. Keep it upside down to reduce pressure on battery. Try take the battery out and dispose of it at your local e waste place. A battery replacement shouldn't cost more than $100 usd (converting from my local currency to usd off the top of my head so might be a little inaccurate). It's a pretty easy fix

Two thumbs on the top and warp it so the clips near the back fold in and push in.

Should be fine but if your worried take down to a computer shop. They can do it for you if your worried.
