(not sure if pixel watches are allowed but...) Dog what the fuck??? I have never dropped it or thrown it down... I was thinking of glueing it back down but I can't find if this has ever happened to anyone else because online search is borderline useless now.

Unfortunately I'm out of warranty so I may look at getting a new battery and replacing it myself as it'll be significantly cheaper. Do you think it's a hardware issue that'll cause other batteries to pillow out too? Should I just cut my loses before I burn a hole in my wrist?

From what I could figure out, it seems like the glue they are/were using to keep the screen in place isn't that good. Whether it's weakening from the heat or the watch or general movement or what, it's not if it comes apart but when. Now those were the older generations, but it doesn't seem like too much has changed design wise in that time..

I never had a problem with the battery but that could be because they never lasted long enough or you got unlucky, I honestly couldn't say. I think your biggest thing for replacing the battery is just going to be about getting that screen to actually stick in place once you're done.
