The MM5369 produces a 60Hz signal from a 3.579545 MHz crystal, not 1 pps.  
I vaguely  recall that there was a version that produced 50 Hz from a PAL 
crystal.

The MM5369 can be found on ebay for about US$1 in medium quantities.  These 
may be Chinese counterfeits, but it is not a technologically demanding 
application, so it should work fine.

If you cannot find an old NTSC TV to cannibalize, the crystals are 
available new for about US$1 from the usual hobbyist surplus stores ( e.g., 
https://anchor-electronics.com/price-list.pdf ).

One additional thought is that the backup battery should physically mounted 
in a low location , preferably in a container that keeps it separated from 
the electronic circuitry.  I once made the mistake of mounting it in the 
case above the circuit board, and the electrolyte leakage damaged some 
components (including some IC chips).
