Does Fxtec Pro 1 phone allow you to change battery easily, like you would with Nokia Classic and such?

Good idea for a phone. Since i prefer buttons when using technology privately rather than touch and touch

You can't easily swap the battery without taking your phone apart no.

While the design isn't for the battery to be immediately user-replaceable like the Nokia, the replacement still seems to be relatively easy because it's not supposed to be much more than removing a few screws. That said, a bigger problem might become to actually get a new battery. F(x)tec doesn't seem to be able to ship any at this time; the ones they're offering through Indiegogo (I ordered one in November 2020) have been officially delayed until October, and we have yet to see whether this works out. While, in contrast to the display which is easy to get because it's identical to the one in the Elephone U/U Pro, no-one has been able so far to find the exact same battery elsewhere on the aftermarket (or anywhere on the net, for that matter).

I have disassembled my Pro1 once to open its base but it is a bit harder than removing some screws.

The easiest part is to open up the display then remove it.
Reapplying the hinge is a bit tricky but not necessary to remove it for opening the bottom part.

However, the bottom part isn't glued together but additionally of its screws, also there are some plastic nails.
The case seems to be sturdy also without screws and to not insure its material, some attention and proper (slim but not too hard) tools are needed.

My guess is that the OP was asking if you could keep some spare batteries (say in your backpack during a hike) for a quick swap anywhere..

And to that the question is definitely NO

(But nice that it should be replacable once worn down,  but I would not call it "easily")

Right, it is much better than having to use a heat gun to remove the whole display together with the risk of breaking it.

So Pro1 can be disassembled in a proper way as opposite to other phones just glued together... however, I would not call it an easy replacement but definitively it is a proper assembling.
