Over time the water from the somewhat diluted acid evaporated or was lost from charging breaking down the water. This is why you added water to restore the balance of liquid chemicals.
If you spilled some of the acid, I'd probably drain the whole battery and refill it with the new acid from the auto parts store so all the cells in the battery have the same concentration.
If the battery is bulged, it could have been frozen. A discharged battery can freeze easily. So it's possible it's not properly charged, and froze, because it was missing acid.
