there are motherboards where the battery isnt used for the clock.
Clock can sit in a special chip made (amongst others) by a company
called Dallas xxxx (forgot the rest of the name).
Anyway you can depending on motherboard have the situation that the
board remembers the bios settings but if the clock chip or its build
in battery (if thats what you have) arent working properly...
I used a utility in the past which would warn me if the time/date went
backwards as its quite painful to run system utilities with the wrong
date and also some programs may stop running if they thing you mess
with the clock.
Anyway, do you know exact type / brand of the motherboard?
It can be that chip with its long life build in battery having a
problem OR of the board is still under waranty I would try to get a
replacement/proper working board.
Under most circumstances this kind of odd behaviour would be a
hardware problem.
