Well, they're sealed so that you can tip them and nothing will spill... But sealed batteries brought to a boil create pressure that will eventually (and in the case of a terminal short that doesn't burn up whatever is shorting them like a fuse, very quickly) rupture the case, allowing the pressurized badness within to escape at high velocity...
