I would not keep any device with a fully exhausted battery just because a battery in a good working condition can already be a fire hazard. So, a depleted one who knows how it can reacts? I would properly dispose of it by recycling it.

@Libb this, or maybe take it to a repair shop to replace it's battery and maybe the USB port as well.

  yep, if at all possible that would be a better idea.

    @Libb I managed to replace the battery of a 2016 phone 2 years ago, so I do not think that should be an issue. Plus, it's a Pixel. In the worst case scenario you'd just get it back the way it is rn.
