That looks like an old IBM Valuepoint 486 motherboard. The extra power connector is for the PCI daughter board.
Takes a standard 3v lithium button battery. It's not unusual to buy some to then find out they are flat to start with.
If you manage to get past the date/time problem you might need to go into CMOS and try different harddisk settings.
It would also be an idea to use a brush (while the unit is earthed but off) to clean a lot of that black stuff off the SIMM's and motherboard. A blower (not industrial!) would be good to remove the lose black stuff after its had a brushing (3-4cm wide paint brush).
Also reseat the SIMM's and CPU if you haven't.
