Strange stain cmos battery

[PsychoPath]

Hi everyone, i recently opened my laptop to clean the cooling fan and the first thing i noticed after opening is that the cmos battery has a brown stain that looks somewhat like rust? I did not spill any liquid on my laptop before. Should i be concerned about the battery?

Remember to take down the BIOS settings before changing battery.

Looks like the cell could be leaking, better change it asap.

My laptop is currently under warranty by Acer, so should I just bring it to Acer service Centre or is cmos battery not covered under warranty?

If it's under warranty and you don't need the laptop urgently then why not?

But does warranty cover the cmos battery??
