If you have a board with an integrated clock/battery, or any sort of
permanently attached (soldered) battery, you may find a pinout near the bios
chip (if you can identify that) for attaching a replacement battery, it will
look similar to a jumper block like hard drives have for master / slave
selecting, only it typically has just two posts. It may be marked as the
battery terminal on the board. If you should be this lucky, it will save a
lot of time instead of looking for the manual. The old battery would not
need to be removed.

Some old PCs had a litle black box with pins and labels like an integrated
circuit chip.. Inside that box were the battery powering a clock, also
inside the box.
I dont know if that is your situation.
Knowing the exact model will help.
