been there done that, overheating kills the cells, runtime,voltage,say bye bye and high irs. but I have had a pack or two still work just used it as a break in tire pack or use as a power source for your lathe or whatever.

Who did you buy it from? a reputable matcher should be willing to replace a cell,I know mine has in the past. |

I'm not sure a vented cell is necessarily bad,but a shorted cell would be,which is what I had,and it got replaced no problem.

If you can, see what it "discharges" at though as I have seen very poor packs take a good charge but can't supply any runtime/voltage.

Don't worry about matching, just throw any cell in it. To be honest I don't think it matters if the cell vents.
