question about PowerBook model names

A neighbor has just discovered that I know a little about Macs and asked me about her machine. Turns out it's a 2400c/190. Problem is that it's losing date and time, and so I assume the small battery that holds PRAM settings is dead. (Assuming the 2400c is like old desktop machines.) Is this
