If it is a lithium, you are fine. If it is a nicad, it needs to be removed. Find the imprinting on the battery. Looks like a nicad to me.

No matter what kind of battery it is, there is some risk of it leaking.
I'd move it if it were my pin. Or, better yet, replace it with a SuperCap. Easy. No leaking, ever. Works like a hose.
