It's not just that. Most if not all Suns use a "Timekeeper RAM" chip for
the RTC and things like the MAC address, these have an onboard primary
cell (i.e. not rechargeable) with a lifetime of about 10 years, after
which you need a replacement. It's not too difficult to cut off the
original battery and replace it, and to enter plausible values for that
model of computer via the OBP.
Apart from that the 100 has- AIUI- a known problem that the I/O
controller dies. When that happens it's scrap.
