Well, fortunately the service manual includes a generic part number for it (3-51FT) with which I was able to source a brand-new replacement for cheap. And the better news is that after I tried leaving it plugged in for a while, the system powered right up as you said, so it appears the NiCad was the only issue with it. Still going to replace it to head off any problems down the line, but I'm happy it was that simple :)
