I've been told that I should replace its battery since it's been damaged. I haven't had the time or the money yet to buy a new one, and right now, I really need to use it.
MacBook
Hi...
Never use a damaged battery. It may cause power and hardware issues for your Mac.
Use your Mac only when it's connected to a power source with the adapter connected to a wall outlet.
There’s one problem with running your MacBook with the battery removed. MacBooks and MacBook Pros automatically reduce the processor speed by about half when the battery is removed.

If you have a MacBook with the removable battery you can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay.
Or for $129 from Apple http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA566LL/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
Can I still use my macbook even without its battery given that it is still plugged in?
