Fix for this?
So yeah, my GameBoy has black smudges and horizontal lines. I've seen fixes for vertical lines, but I haven't seen any for horizontal lines. Is it possible to get a replacement LCD? Here is a picture.

Possibly, but you might have better luck on a Game Boy forum rather than NESdev...

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.

Don't mean to be rude, but could you please give me a way to fix it?

Yeah, but I can't find a place where I can buy a replacement LCD. They have them for Gameboy Color and Advance, but none for the original.

You can not get a replacement LCD. At best you can salvage one from another Game Boy, or painstakingly solder in a Game Boy Pocket LCD, for which instructions are not provided.
The splotch is a "bubble" in the liquid crystal layer. That can not be repaired. Vertical lines may be repaired by hand. Nobody has made consistent results for fixing horizontal lines, though.
