My battery has expanded, and it smells. I turned off the phone, but I'm not using it, and it still sticks out. Additionally, the center part of the screen is already curved. Is it safe to still change the battery myself?

As long as you don't stress the battery in any way when removing it, you should be good
Careful when opening, and before disconnecting he screen, which is tempting, disconnect the battery cable from the board
Then carefully remove the battery using the pull tab adhesive, and if they rip, use a thin syringe to inject isopropyl alchohol underneath the battery, wait 10-15 seconds, then gently push the battery, and if it feels loose enough, take it out, otherwise wait a bit more, still stuck then add more alchohol and make sure it reaches the adhesive to disintergrate it
Long story short, if you are careful and skilled, and you have the patience, then it should be fine. But if you have kids in the house or aren't very confident or good at the skill, it's not recommended
I would go for it, with extreme care - those spicy pillows can burst, after removal make sure it is disposed of safely (I have a puffed up laptop battery, tripled in thickness. Replaced it, and left the old one on my desk, and my 6yr old brother decides to use it as a house for his toy thomas the train to crash into, it ended up in flames)
