yes the smell that is present there is the chemical reaction that shouldn't happen inside most likely eating the plastic shell, its a reduction reaction... that can be very bad. also the expansion is the force created by the extra reactions that is the same thing as an explosion, just not as much force, which causes the expansion. and if it did crack you could have a caustic mess in the area where it leaked.
I always thought SLA batteries will not leak acid like reagular lead acid batteries which is the reason why combat robots are only allowed to use them. Besides I also read horror stories where a piece of molten metal went through a SLA and it still worked. In reality those people are dumb but it really shows how safe the battery is. There are ways to make them explode but that would be assinine. Anyway here are some more safety tips do not pot the battery or encase it to protect it. The battery will explode since gasses build up in all batteries and will have no way to vent. Always use the right charger for the batteries. Do not think all batteries will use the same charger. Some batteries like lithium-ion do need special chargers.
