While you do need to clean the goo from the leaked battery, replacing
the PRAM battery will not fix the IIci.  The IIci does not rely on the
battery for booting.  Other models do, which causes "replace the
battery" to be common advice, but the IIci doesn't care whether the
battery works, nor whether it is installed, for booting purposes.

Do not solder in a replacement battery.  Replacement battery holders
are available and will be much more convenient the next time it is
time to change the battery.
