In answer to your questions: You should disconnect the ground cable to protect the cars computer. Yes, they look sealed but they can vent while charging takes place. If your radio has a code it will more than likely have to be re-entered once you reconnect the battery.
I agree, if this is the original battery it is more than likely time for a new one.
