A writer friend of mine wrote:

"The battery just swelled up and popped out of my old computer. I just
noticed it. I don’t know that that can be fixed. I don’t know that it’s
worth it to try. It’s seven years old. Maybe I should just let it go.
But it still works. It’s working now, even with the battery popped out.
I called my insurance company to see if they’ll pay for it to be
repaired. Will let you know. That’s my backup. I need a backup!"

And then, when I asked her about replacing the battery, she wrote,

"I think it needs more than a battery. There’s some metal stuff that has
exploded in it. More than the battery has exploded. I don’t know the
model number. I only know the serial number, which wouldn’t help you.
It’s a MacBook Pro, 17 inch. They’re not made anymore."

Is there any help for her computer?

How does she find the model designation?

Disclaimer: the only thing I personally know about Macs in particular is
that they are marketed by Apple.
