There would be a least a coin-cell battery to power the clock and CMOS. If you're worried about shipping, those 2032 cells are too small to be a problem.

Macs never had CMOS, it went from PRAM with OpenFirmware Macs to NVRAM with Intel Macs.

There is not much you need to worry about . The onboard "Systems Settings" battery seems to defy removal anyways . I tried to remove mine and couldn't figure out a method . It has a very fragile holder .

It's just for clock and related things like time elapsed from boot, no settings are kept by the battery at all.

In honor of your discovery , I'm not calling the MP7,1's onboard battery the PRAM battery anymore ( even if that's what companies like OWC call that type of battery ) . It's now the "Systems Settings" battery and I'll probably get carpel tunnel syndrome from writing all those extra characters a zillion times . If my fingers hurt too much , it'll be PRAM battery again 😝 .

doesn't it also retain things like printer and display resolution settings after the power plug is yanked ?

Nope, clock related only.
