I'm still not convinced a PC clock is deliberately designed to run slow.
My experience with flattening BIOS batteries has been peculiar hardware

Don't forget that most PCs are always online, and adjusting their clocks
from the various time servers. Mostly, today, you'd see the clock error
after the computer's been turned off for a while, or at least off-line.
Back when most computers were only online occasionally, if at all, it
was more obvious.
