The batteries with vents are sealed batteries so not quite same as a regular flooded battery. And it is under back seat and under a plastic lined piece of insulation. As you say, least of out worries if car has flipped!
I know some here have installed Optimas successfully, which seems like a good solution even if they don't quite meet electrical specs for W210.

Even if the factory installed made in germany vent tube is missing - you get a new vent tube whenever you buy such a battery. You can buy it from any FLAPS too. I tried to buy 2, but the interstate warehouse clerk simply handed over to me, no money charged.
