If no sign, it'll be fine. The major fear of putting a lead-acid battery on its side is it spilling sulfuric acid onto wherever it might end up. It won't hurt the battery itself, other than if it loses acid. If you are sure no acid has leaked, then it's probably a case of "no harm; no foul" and you got lucky.
Thought about using lead acid batteries for homemade UPSes outside though. Never done it. Well, most batteries in UPS's nowadays are the sealed AGM type; where AGM = absorbent glass matt. If you added water to them, you would weaken the electrolyte strength, and risk spillage.
If your battery is liquid acid type, even if sealed and maintenance-free, keep it upright all of the time. Don't put it on its side or you may get leaked acid. AGM, you can perfectly well put these on the side. Usually charging when completely inverted though isn't permitted.
As long as it is sealed. Sealed Lead acid batteries was used in scuba diving flashlights at least around 1998 I remember. And that was before gel type time. In a car the battery will never not be leveled all the time. They come with either a flat plastic cover, or individuial covers the size of a quarter.
However, manufacturers of batteries state the battery can be positioned vertically or horizontally or sideways, but there is no mention of upside down: With isolated seal, it is not limited to direction, position in place. It can be put in horizontal way, vertical way and side way, its safely and functions totally will not be affected.
Acid can still escape from the vent if the battery is put into a position where the acid can escape through the vent. Depends on the battery type what bad can happen, but generally that doesn't include harm to the battery -- it includes danger of acid leaks. Sealed, maintenance-free doesn't mean anything.
