You need to disconnect all connectors and cables connecting the power supply unit, motherboard, graphics card, and other parts.
After that, remove the power supply unit from its housing.
Do not take off the motherboard; you’ll need to open the PC case to access the connections.
Be gentle with the PSU when handling it—do not open it or touch anything else. Dispose of it as electronic waste.
The replacement PSU will include its own cables, so use only those provided.

Is it feasible to swap out your PSU without having to lay the motherboard flat? I’m a bit confused about your question, but you can remove your PSU from the build without taking out any other parts. Just make sure to disconnect all CPU connectors before you can take it off. You don’t need to reuse old PSU cables if they’re modular.

uncertain if I should take the whole motherboard out and set it up on a workbench or stand

It is not possible to detach cables without accessing the PC case.

Yes, I wrote that the case needs to be opened. Perhaps it seemed like a mistake.
