Don't really know, I just noticed it a couple of days ago. I guess it is from the hard bashing and the battery was moving around a little bit.

If just the covering was punctured you should be fine, if the cell was punctured the battery should be properly discarded.

You could always rewire it as a 2 cell.

normally they do, but lipos can be rather unpredictable. if in doubt, just buy a new one it doesnt look like you need a new one at this point, but down the road if it continues to rip than a new battery could save you fire damage later.
