Hi! I'm having a strage and mysterious date & time problem.... my computer keeping having 60s flashbacks.

He posted the wrong battery. What model do you have? Most iBooks your vintage do not have a separate battery for the CMOS settings (what Apple calls PRAM) -- it runs off the main battery.

Does the unit run off the battery OK?
