If it has liquid inside it there must be some sort of vent, period.
The 'sealed' ones don't vent at the battery cap, there is a case vent which connects to a tube (usually provided with each battery) to vent the battery to a safe location. A lot of European vehicles have the battery located in the trunk or under the rear seat. In cases like that the battery has a tube which goes through the body to the underside for venting or overflow.
If properly done with an external vent tube I don't see any problem with putting a battery on the inside.
