My housemate was given a brand new MacBook Pro (no touch bar) from his work yesterday. We realized that it has this bulge underneath.
Should he be concerned? Anything about getting onto airplanes, performance issues, explosions?

OP here.
Just tried pushing it down, and it popped in with a click. It all looks flush now.
We wouldn't bother if we were to find it like this in the first place. Should we still be concerned, though? Why was it popped out like that?

Holy shit user read the thread, either the battery is going bad and is starting to expand
OR it was bent by someone and you just bent it backwards

Your battery is faulty and has expanded. If you compress it down, very ugly things can happen:

Not being funny here but have you tried pushing it back in? Lol
I've had laptops shipped to me where the bezels weren't completely clicked in from the assembly line before, so I wouldn't worry.
But if you are worried, send it back...

Try chewing on it.
