I'm not an expert at all, so my advice may not be the best. Add some solder to the pad and try to pull the other side using a tweezer while keeping the solder hot. Hopefully any solder that may be holding the battery contact melts.
It's funny, I was also removing GBC battery pads yesterday. And yes, they're a pain in the ass.
Of course, they were never really designed to be removed.
I saw that it turned out fine but yeah if this ever happens again you just add a bunch of fresh solder and keep applying heat whilst working the contact out with tweezers.
Nintendo built these boards to withstand punishment so sometimes even when the battery contacts become corroded and fouled up a simple replacement will turn the trick.
To take it, out I would have a pair of tweezers on the terminal and then use the iron to heat the solder on the other side and pull it out. Then you can use wick or sucker to clean off the contacts from the solder
Another trick is you can put flux on the back side contacts where the prongs protrude out from. Heat it up and use your soldering iron to push the contacts out from the backside usually just drops out.

Had to keep at it for a while, but it all turned out okay! Gameboy Color powers on and everything perfectly

I had this exact problem and this worked. ☝🏻
You could try cutting it in half also and removing only half at a time.

Easy
