Looks like a sulfated battery a cell has filled with material from the plates and has shorted the cell. So if you jump on the terminals it will not start. Then when you charged the cell erupted.
Get a battery check cables ohm meter or visual if O.E.M. Replace.
Then check charging system to be sure all is well.
Hope this helps
