    With the help of Jim S and Dave McGuire, I got my

 It does have an issue. It says the clock it not working and needs to be
 set. I opened is up to clean any remaining KOH from leaky NiCads
 and saw it had one of those MK48T02B chips in it.
   I tried doing a search on google for anyone hacking these chips
 to replace the battery but all I got were chip sales.
     
ST absorbed Mostek some years back, so the prefix changed from MK to M,
but they're still made.  You can get a brand new M48T02 from Digikey for
$20.10:
