You should also remove the bottom cover to check if the battery may be swelling. (It's a five-year-old battery!) That can create a number of different issues, when the trackpad doesn't have full physical room underneath the trackpad. The swelling (if there is any) will likely be easy to see -- or you can post a picture of that area, and someone here may give you an opinion about what is visible.
