When I purchased my Lisa II from Sun many years ago, it has a dead clock

And it never will.  These don't have a Y2K problem, they have a 1995 
problem.  So don't worry about the date.  Do, however, worry about the 
batteries leaking.  If you really want to replace them they are a 4 pack 
of NiCAD's - don't use anything else or you'll damage your I/O board.  
Instead of replacing them, I would highly recommend just removing them.  
You can either cut them off at the tabs (careful not to damage the 
board) or desolder them. (- also be careful).

The Lisa will run fine with no batteries at all and you remove the risk 
of a leak damaging your I./O and motherboard.
