What lead you to believe that the battery was dead - couldn't start the car or none of the lights/electricals were working?
Is this the factory alarm system or aftermarket alarm?
Did you verify that the key fob battery is OK?
Most factory alarms do not like it when you unlock the door manually, you have to disarm it manually through a physical switch/button or disarm via the key fob. If this is an 8th gen Corolla - then you will not have "chipped" keys, but a starter interrupt /starter kill / hot-wire disable function is not out of the question as noted by kylehondarider.
