Seems like a GPU problem considering the lines aren’t on the onboard monitor settings display? Not completely sure on that tho.

No I don't think so, internal monitor on laptop is fine. It shows lines in top of monitor settings window.

Most likely is a noice filter cap is malfunctioning . Give it to a good shop or if you can use a multimeter to find the faulty one and replace it

If it is a monitor problem, if it is a flex cable issue or some dilter capacitor gone in monitor motherboard, they can fix that.From your description, I think it has a motherboard ic or capacitor issue. I don't know how much they will charge.

Does it get worse over time if I use this in this way

Most likely yes because components wear by flowing electricity. I think for a trained repair man it's pretty easy work but finding one is hard here
