At this point I am in agreement with Jun. I would change the battery
before even thinking about replacing the motherboard.

The other possibility is an errant piece of software. Please do yourself
an inexpensive favor and change the battery first then check the time.
As for your friend telling you that you need a new motherboard... Maybe
this person knows something we don't. Then again...
