I also have a MacBook Pro 17" with a swollen battery (a bit newer though: early 2009)
Did you try having the battery fixed by a 3rd party? I remember a few years ago I mailed a broken Powerbook battery to some guy who replaced the cells. I think it was a a NiMH battery, but maybe it works with lithium-ion batteries as well?
