That's why we usually have the batteries in a garage, basement, or out
building that is not open to the living space.
I've seen some cases of very well sealed and insulated enclosures
allowing batteries to over heat, and also build up a lot of acid damaged
connections.
Boxes I've seen with more air space and less sealing don't get this
build up, but you're correct: they do occasionally allow H2S into the
surrounding area.

We do what we can to seal the enclosure so if or when a battery fails
and really gasses off the two vents on the same wall regardless of
wind direction will vent the gas. If it is not sealed then the gas can
travel through out the area this is not advised.
