The CMOS battery, besides maintaining the BIOS settings, also powers the
internal clock or real-time clock (RTC) when the machine is turned off.
System Time and System Date being two of those BIOS settings.

I noticed my clock getting very slow, losing a hour or so per day, so I

That battery has nothing to do with your problem. Its purpose is to
maintain your CMOS settings when power is disconnected - unplugged -
from your computer.

You have other problems, I'm sure.
