The cover may have been jammed if the laptop was dropped.
1. Use a stiff letter opener and run it along the edges of the battery cover.
2. Move the mechanical lock switch to open
3. Use the stiff letter opener to pry the battery out.
4. The goop you find is probably dried-up coffee, or some energy drink...
The battery has a single release and no lock. Push the release button all the way to one side, the battery will kick up slightly on the button side. It pivots from the back of the case and locks into a connecttor on the release side. If it is stuck closed, try pushing the release as hard as you can while prying up on the battery, the side closest to the release, this will hopefully pop the battery off the connector.

Try booting into the BIOS Screen and resetting to factory defaults. If that fails suggest swapping the hard drive out and re-install the Operating System - Save your old data and migrate the data off the old drive. You can buy an external drive adapter to connect the harddrive to a USB port to migrate you data.
Good Luck!
