That would be normal for a 10 amp charger to peg with a near dead battery. Also, a 10 amp charger is not a trickle charge. It is a fairly high rate of charge for a battery that has been sitting dead for a few days. I always throw the volt meter on while charging to make sure voltage does not exceed normal fully charge volts which would be right near 14.5 volts. It probable did not exceed that voltage when first charging but a 10 amp charger will indeed exceed that when approaching full charge unless it is one of those automatic ones that always quit well before full charge had actually been obtained. If your battery did not freeze I doubt you hurt it or very little if at all in one week. Trickle chargers are to maintain a battery at full charge and not to recharge it as they will produce less than l ampere.
