New battery. Low charge.

Also can a wet cell lead battery be harmed by tipping it too much?

Not unless plates are left uncovered for some time. Perhaps by bringing up sediment from the bottom
However, sulfuric acid is insidious stuff to have around if any leaks out.

Your WM value batteries have eyes? I’ve not seen one like that…

I have proof of eye and proof my Value battery story is true. My eye is green, but no one can tell when it stops being green. Eye came green from the cage. “Always look eye” Mr. Miyagi teach. Always look eye. (from Karate Kid). I see it says on battery, do not tip. Maybe it upsets the eye.
