It came with a battery as a separate. I don't know if this is a spare,
or if I need to install it. It I need to install it, I assume that all
setup information will be lost. I have no record of my set-up
information, what can I put into set-up.

Think you have to leave it off awhile before CMOS values revert to
their defaults. Perhaps not. Most all MB's, in the documentation,
provide the pin jumpers to wipe-it, anyway. Those batteries are good
for 5-10 years. Surprising it wasn't already slotted for you.
The thing to realize with some older MBs, is they may be somewhat
difficult to obtain -- in any event decidedly past their prime, as it
were. Times pass and a focus shifts to newer chip models dominating
production runs. Prime being the best results for the least valuation
when cost averaging. What, a year or two ago, now performs on par at
a third or half the cost unless, of course, the chosen elective is
conversely what offers twice, thrice performance at price parity, so
and within economic orders of determinate mercantilism.
Price lags, actually, may not be noticeably outstanding. Take, for
instance, XYZ computer commodities: such that, X brand is oldest, Y
mid-dated, with Z newest. What happens is instead of X brand dropping
to an arbitrary third at Y brands two-thirds valuation of the highest,
Z brand, rather, X may not factor entirely. The discrepancy between Y
and Z is effectively then narrowed across industry-wide terms. How I
saw that facilitated, in practise, was the X brand I had set a
predetermined value on was removed from the equation;- when I went
looking for X, I found the industry had shipped them to South America,
by the boatloads, where a fairer market share could be exacted over a
more reasonable expectancy, within ensuing means of one, such as was
given to me, to exercise on valid selection choice between Y and Z
solely.
There is, as well, a fault factor on brand X, a somewhat wide
discrepancy to consider in addition to quality driving marketing
competition, that being that quality may exhibit a drop-off as
production enters a terminal phase;- least to ignore the obvious, that
supportive material technology during a given phase-run model may be
predated by five or more years, meaning there's a greater chance of
associative decrepitude for materials then being presented at some
later time point from a good-as-new perspective.
A wide latitude, nevertheless, for in any sense of the personal
experience, although I have bought older but proven MBs for
replacement purposes, well past their prime, might I add, which did
not meet expectations.
