Not every macbook has a bios battery. There are still some that have a tiny button cell battery on the board, much smaller than the common watch battery but there is no way of knowing unless you remove the motherboard and have a look.
It is now customary for the macbook's main battery to provide the small battery supply that keeps the date and time, a job performed previously by a small watch size battery. On newer machines, the main battery supply goes through a voltage regulator circuit that drops the voltage to 3.3v which on circuit diagrams is usually labelled RTCV (Real Time Clock Voltage). This voltage then goes directly into the main 'All in one' BGA chip (CPU & Northbridge & GPU).
If you are persistently losing date and time, it could be any of the above that is causing the problem.
