Hmmm its better to replace the battery right

I would say so. This article mentions broken screens, but it’s supposed to be the same procedure for all iPhones that get service where a screen assembly must be replaced. Don’t mind the language, as it’s really still only a water resistant seal. The seals are supposed to be replaced each time. If you’re in an area without access to this equipment, you’ll get a replacement device in exchange. That device will have undergone this procedure.

In a smaller training room, a technician laid out the tools Apple uses to fix iPhone screens: special screwdrivers for the iPhone’s five- and three-lobed screws, a custom suction-cup for loosening the screen without tearing the delicate ribbon cables behind it, and a press to squeeze iPhone 7s to ensure waterproofing.

Once the new screen is mounted, the iPhone goes into the Horizon Machine, which allows Apple’s software to communicate with the fresh hardware. Over the course of 10 to 12 minutes, the machine talks to the phone’s operating system to pair the fingerprint sensor to the phone’s brain.

If Apple or an AASP does it, they will replace the seal and it should be restored to factory water resistance specifications. They will test it on a rig that checks for mechanical integrity. Depending on your location, it might be a replacement, because not all locations or countries have access to Apple’s calibration equipment.

The problem is if i full charge my phone the battery is not even stand for 8 hours. When it was new i managed to use more than 18 hours. And my phone is one year old now. So i thought the problem is with my battery. And the battery health is now 55%

55% is unusual for one year, but not impossible. Apple generally recommends replacement at under 80%

Also, having the battery replaced using Apple’s equipment should mean it’s more water resistant than before the service. The seals tend to degrade over time, and factory approved battery service is done with new seals and a check of the mechanical integrity.
