You need to worry about the battery degrading at this point and what the costs to repair it would look like

MBPs from that vintage didn't have the battery glued in. Anyone with fine motor skills can easily do the repair themselves for $90 in parts and tools.

Batteries for this model are quite easy to replace, and pretty cheap.
