My guess would be that the PRAM battery had discharged while sitting
unplugged, waiting for you to buy it. Then when you bought it and
left it plugged in for a couple of weeks, the battery was able to
charge to a high-enough level to hold the settings.

The PRAM battery is not charged by the Mac. It's not even a
rechargeable battery. What more likely happened is that the network
time server function was activated, or the correct time was set and
the iMac was never unplugged from house current. Either one would let
the iMac keep time even with a bad battery installed.
