The top of my battery is a little airy when I push on it by the rest of the battery feels fine. So is my battery fine.

It looks a tiny bit puffy but if it were mine I wouldn't be over concerned right now. I wouldn't charge it unattended but it's a good idea to not do that anyway.
I have many packs that look like this or even worse and still use them over and over again. Be sure to not over-discharge and follow the general lipo guidelines and you should be in good shape.
 
It is fine. Run it but follow proper procedures for charging and storage.
 
Also looks like a Power Hobby pack and imo they're very dependable and well-built for the cost. I have a couple 3s packs and I think a 6s pack and they've been good for me time and again.
 
If it charges fine and all the numbers are in check I'd run it, just keep a eye on it as time goes buy. I run my puffy SMCs and they are much worst than yours.
