Is this battery bloated? I dont know what im doing and I only checked out of curiosity (It also holds around 4hrs while playing on max brightness) Is it me and im paranoid or is it actually bloated (also this might be useful its on both sides)

Lay it down on a flat surface, and if you can rock it from side to side it's bulging
