It seems like I keep having issue after issue and my computer is less than 5 years old. Hardware failure, battery failure, hinge issues, etc. now my screws are falling out. One just came out (yes it just came out) and I screwed it back in. Took my computer to the shop to get the battery fixed, After a few weeks two more fell out.

Hinges. The screws fasten through the hinge mounts and if the hinges begin to go bad it strips the threading off the hinge mounts and there is nothing for the screw to hold to. If you try to replace the screws they will just fall out again. 5 years is a pretty fair life for a laptop, by the way. You would certainly expect the battery to fail in that span of time.
