Is it time to change that bad boy and how much would it run me to replace?

For that reason alone I would. I assume when you say expanded? You mean like a package of raw meat that has gone bad. So the package has expanded due to the gas?

Like I said, I would change it in fear of it exploding. It may not be a bad idea to check other stuff to make sure it's either just the battery or if there's more issues causing your problems. For 60-70 dollars you can get a parts store battery. For $120+ you can get like a Red top or Yellow top Optima.
