Perhaps my past experiences aren't helping much here. With my myriad
System 7-based Macs, the PRAM battery going bad and/or being pulled
caused the time settings to go all askew, and the date reverting to
1956. After pulling the PRAM battery in the beige G3 for an hour and
zapping the settings for good measure (Command+Option+P+R) upon
bootup, the time setting was within five minutes of the actual time.
I'm not sure if this was absolute coincidence or not, but it didn't
seem like it. As usual, booting while holding C didn't work, and
neither did trying to restart from the install program. One thing I
did realize that I'd stupidly left it plugged in while pulling the
PRAM battery. I have since pulled the power cord, and am going to
leave the PRAM battery out for another hour, then perhaps trying the
zap command again.

When you reset the "pram" you are holding down the (Command+Option+P+R)
upon bootup, for at least three (3) bongs of the memory test indicator
aren't you?
If not, start the boot process and hold down (Command+Option+P+R) for
at least 3 cycles of the start-up process.
And yeah, your clock should reset unless you have the clock init set to
sync. the clock at start-up. Which would have the clock setting correct
by the time that the OS becomes active. Well that is if you have a
direct connection to the internet. i.e. WAN, LAN, Cable, DS-1 etc.
