Something I’ve encountered is that track pads can become unreliable or quirky when the battery starts inflating. “Spicy pillow” as they say. When the computer is resting on a flat hard surface, does it rock a bit? How is battery life and capacity? Is the track pad still fitting perfectly into the palm rest, or is it sticking up a bit?

Hopefully it is not this, but something to keep in mind.

Ooh, good one! I had completely forgotten, but I lost a laptop once that way. I never put the trackpad flakiness together with the battery failure until after the battery was both huge and non-functional.
