Is a crinkled/wrinkled battery still safe to re-use?

Hi,
I have an old Moto G7 Power which I am currently disassembling as the screen was completely broken on it.
Waiting on the screen and back to arrive at the moment, but I’m not sure whether the battery is still safe to use.
It was stuck to the chassis of the device using 2 vertical strips of adhesive, and I had to use a flat metal tool to pry it off.
Unfortunately, the back of the battery is now very crinkled due to me pulling and prying the battery off the chassis.
Is this battery safe to re-use in the phone once I’m ready to put it all back together with the new parts?
There is 0 inflation or bulging, there is nothing under those wrinkles, just air.
Thank you for your time!
