iPod Shuffle 2nd generation Random Screen cracking?

Hello there

So, I bought a 2nd generation iPod Nano off of Ebay to use in a project.

The seller noted that the battery was dead, which it most deffinately is. But, no big deal, my project will be powering it all the time anyway.

 

Now, something I didn't take into account is the battery might expand if plugged in for an extended period.

 

So, I had it plugged into my computer, it was working perfectly fine, and suddenly the screen was full of vertical lines, as if it's cracked.

It suffered no trauma, just sitting there on my desk, plugged into my computer.

 

Is this a thing? Does this happen to old iPods? Will Apple fix it or should I grab a new screen on ebay and fix it myself?
