Yes, even though the Apple Hardware Test showed no problems .... I replaced the battery and all is as it should be. Fixed. So, a Genuine Apple battery of 10 1/2 months failed and the test didn't show it. ...

Well, might be easier if Chrome isn't full screen. Reduce size of the chrome window, so it's not near the top right of screen. Can you see a separate 3 dots on chrome now?

the uneven stacked bars are part of macOS ( activates the side panel) , not Google chrome. Only the 3 dots are Chrome. Which did you click on.

... you could try doing a 'Apple Hardware Test' or probably, with your 2015 model, an 'Apple Diagnostics Utility' to check your hardware. Boot up while holding down the 'D' key, ... or if that doesn't work, hold down the 'Option + D' keys. Then check your hardware. Hope it helps

Hold down the F12 key while starting up. That ejects any removable media

I have an early 2011 macbook pro, just like you. I have an SSD and 8GB ram, it's made sooo much difference. Go and do it asap. You won't regret it, it'll be better than new. I can't suggest what you should buy, seeing as I don't know where you are. I'm in New Zealand, you're probably not, so...
