If it has such a battery, but I don't recall seeing one for decades.
My latest laptop is a bit posh, and has hot-swappable main batteries, plus a tiny built-in rechargeable battery to keep it going while you do the swap (and also to keep the machine's setup when it's gone to sleep).
Desktops tended to go for an RTC/set-up-RAM powered by an embedded 10yr battery, rather than exchangeable coin-cells. Which is great until the desktop is more than 10yrs old, but they didn't really care.
