To fix it the motherboard needs to be removed, the old holder desoldered and then a new one soldered in.
Any cmos battery holder shoiuld work as long as its solder contacts have the same spacing and it physically fits in the old location.
I googled cmos battery holder and this is the first link that came up:

I imagine if you go to the support page for you model you may be able to find a parts list that’d show an exact replacement. But really, all you need is one that fits in the same space.
You’re not really green until you’re soylent green.
Oh, and if you’re doing the soldering yourself, make sure you get the orientation right. If you solder the holder in backwards then your polarity (+/-) will be backwards and bad things will happen.
