I noticed my laptop is swollen where the battery is located. I looked it up and it must the battery itself that is swollen. I tried to send a message to HP by opening a case with them but both times I attempted I received this message: "The service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
The notebook is out of warranty so I know I would have to pay for a replacement battery, but I don't know how much it would cost and I don't know how to even replace it. Any suggestions?

Your system is comparatively easy to replace the battery. There is a video here of a disassembly.

I managed to get a battery replaced on my out of warrantee surface pro 4 when I mentioned I took it frequently on plane trips and was afraid it might catch on fire. However, the SP4 had a well known problem with overheating and a proven record of catching on fire. Your system is far easier to disassemble.
