No. It is NOT safe to use.

The battery is swelling. It is a fire/explosion hazard.

Stop using it. get it out of your home. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store.

Definitely not safe. It shouldn’t even be stored in your home. Batteries that are swelling can catch fire and/or explode.

This should certainly be your next step, or the Genius Bar as KiltedTim suggested.
