NARAYANAN, I haven't seen any swollen batteries in the newer unibody machines. They were quite common in the C2D 2006-2008 MacBook Pros. Apple was replacing them for free for a while but needed more cash. I haven't had them replace a battery for three years now. In my opinion this were all factory defects. What machine did you find this one in?
The MC0BOOK13W and MC0BOOK13B were known to catch fire and maybe Apple will still replace them. Here's the forum on the swollen ones: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/258...

Best not to use or charge your system until you get the battery replaced.

Here's some helpful links:
Apple info on lithium-ion batteries Also review the Notebook section in detail in the How to Maximize Power Use section.
Here's a more techie writeup Charging Lithium-ion
In your case I agree with Mayer you had a defective cell. Any impurities inside can lead to a premature breakdown causing the CO2 buildup which caused the battery to swell.
Just follow the Apple guidelines on taking care of your battery. And use your system as you normally do.
