I need to replace the battery but inside is completely different from anything I can see online and the battery is tiny. Serial no. Is HGP*******GV

That does not appear to be an Apple AirTag.
How to replace the battery in your AirTag - Apple Support
Thank you, I did wonder about that but that is the way it opened and I cannot open it any other way. It is definitely Apple as bought direct from Apple with a case. The serial number is Apple as I checked.
thanks
Your tag then appears to be defective.
That white plastic component on the left (the battery holder) is NOT designed to ever be detached from the “body” on the right.
The battery is on the “other side” of the battery holder, under the silver cover.
The silver cover is what is designed to rotate — and then detach — from the battery holder.
As the primary electrical connection from the battery has been severed [IMO irreparably] this particular AirTag is best consigned to the electronics recycling system.

You’ve opened the entire case (the internals look similar to, but may not be an AirTag)
+1
Unless that’s possibly the bottom of the battery compartment on the left. 🤔
And the “electronics compartment” has been intentionally accessed for some — possibly nefarious — reason.
ok, thank you
Ok, thanks for your time. I will give up and do that.
You’re most welcome.
These are the fun (i.e. technically interesting) sorts of questions.
I actually opened-up an AirTag (non-destructively) to compare it’s innards to your images.
Why is my AirTag battery different from CR2032
