Battery is swelling

I have a macbook late 2006 white. the battery started to swell a little while ago. It had 506 cycles and the health stands on 72%.

How big of a problem is this, can it cause damage to my laptop?
When I say swelling I mean that the white panel is slowly rising a bit and that creates a little belly that the whole laptop is pivoting on.
Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures
