You certainly would have like it not to be soldered. Sometimes a battery manufacturer will offer a version of the battery with solder tabs spot welded to the battery. Sometimes they will spot weld a wire directly to the battery and that wire gets soldered at the other end.
Can a novice re-solder this battery? I'd say the answer is a resounding NO! There are just too many easy ways to blow-up a lithium ion battery. Can a local electronics repair shop do the job? Yes, but I would stand anywhere close by while it is done just in case they came up short on skills. Soldering a printed circuit board is double yikes unless you have the proper training and equipment. Then it's only challenging.
