You have to take it apart and dry it thouroghly. There is nothing to be
afraid of, since the system board is probably shot anyway. If there had been
no battery, I think you could have saved it. But the battery does put energy
into the system, so the odds are against you. In any case, take it all apart
and dry it out really well.

Okay, I managed to undock it (found the key) and I removed the battery...
When I undocked it (12 hours after it happened), I saw a very very small
"puddle" next to the battery, which makes me worry what goes inside...
I am tempted to unscrew it and use a hair drier, not sure if it is wise.

but OTOH electricity is expensive.
Anyway, a dehumidifier would help your task of drying out the
computer before applying juice^H^H^H^H^H electricity.
