That is not fact. Back when I was a young man in the late '70's, I went to start my '70 Cutlass and the battery exploded caused by corrosion on the terminals. I opened the hood and the whole side of the battery was blown out with acid all over the engine compartment, including my M/T aluminum valve covers. That's why safety glasses were recommended back then when working with lead/acid batteries. Since I had no way of rescue back then, I hit the ignition again for the heck of it and it started. Needless to say, I got a new battery. I've had lithium batteries in both of our race cars the past few years.
