Like, it fell into the power supply?

Take out the PSU and look for it. 

I could be very wrong

If it fell in the psu then try removing the psu, and shaking it out, if that doesn't work then remove a cover part of the PSU, it should be held on by screws.

If your battery fell into your power supply then don't power on you system until you get the battery out(don't even plug it into the wall). You can take your PSU out and you might be able to 'shake" it out, however the worst case scenario is that you'll need to take apart your PSU.

If you can't tell I am freaking out right now

First, calm down. Secondly, if you can, shake out the power supply and see if you can get it to fall out.

Which will also void the warranty, consequently.
