[OSX] Could my battery be going?

I have an iMac 400 DV which I bought in October of 2000 and I think my battery has died.

My clock has started acting up (especially when I unplug it) and the highlight color has switched back to default. Again, these seem to be battery related. Could it be something else?

You're not supposed to unplug this machine; doing so causes the PRAM battery to die. This was covered in Power Management Update 1.1; sounds like you haven't installed this. See KB article 120048. m.
