That old machine has stored most settings in the BIOS. It's not unlikely,
that a new CMOS battery might help, but surely depends on vendor/model
and BIOS itself.

Look here:

Another way to check state of CMOS battery: unplug and replug AC (and
battery at same time - to be sure) for a few seconds. Check afterwards
if machine keeps time and date.

Best regards,
