Sounds like your PRAM battery has given up the ghost. They're not too
expensive, around 5 bucks or so, and super easy to replace.
Look for:
1/2 AA 3.6 volt lithium battery
These are made by EVERY major manufacturer of batteries in the World.
Most older desktop Macs used these batteries, but these are not
routinely
stocked by the "usual suspect" battery sources.
More modern machines, and particularly PeeCees, use a CR2032, which is
also a lithium battery, but is only 3.0 volts.
CR2032s are available everywhere.
If the machine is on the net set the time and date to automatic and it
will set correctly when you power up. The battery isn't needed anymore.
