Update 6:28pm 2/1
It has now also given me the dead battery icon when using the power button. It's also now at 57% when it was at 39% when I checked before putting it to sleep. I'm going to just turn it off and get a new battery asap.

My battery behaves in the same way and is very similar to your experience, with this additional issue:

I'm wondering if the lightness of text around the edges of the screen (a kind of fading of the text) is also caused by a depleted battery. Or a bad controller? Or a screen going bad? Or a short due to an ant that caused some kind of corrosion in the circuit? (Not joking.)
