And so, this is the situation. I filmed the video on GoPro and got very hot, it didn't bother me much until I noticed that the battery was swollen. I tried to pull it out and it so happened that the battery before had damaged the memory card, which I could not pull out at first. I pulled out the 256GB card, now it does not work. Now the question is how to pull out the battery? I watched the video in which the GoPro 8 was disassembled and the battery cannot be removed there. Maybe someone can give advice, or someone got into a similar situation (on other GoPros). Because there is no money to buy a new camera, but you need to shoot a lot.

try to find something thin and sharp (like a longer razor) and carefully slide it between all sides where the battery touches the inner area. It looks like it melted enough to fuse to the camera. If you can cut between the battery and the inside of the camera, you can hopefully remove it without damage to the camera. Edit: Be careful not to cut into the battery! It could blow up or get acid on you. Forgot to mention that. Be safe.

Please make sure to wear gloves and some form of eye protection if you're planning to cut the battery out! Take care :)
