I'm really concerned because the case of my laptop is actually splitting open. The mousepad has lifted and cracked, and I can sometimes see the circuitry on the right side. What could be causing this?

Most likely, it’s just the battery swelling and needs to be replaced. Don't ignore it; that can be a safety hazard!
Sounds like your battery is turning into a spicy pillow! Seriously though, you should take it to a repair shop for a replacement before it gets worse.
It sounds like your laptop's battery might be swelling. That's usually what's behind cases splitting open. You should definitely stop using it and get it checked out by a technician as soon as you can.
