Yeah,, it's more than likely a dead CMOS battery... but it wasn't in shop, so oh well

The more you know! -
@RiderExMachina yup. Happened with me when I was kid. Around 10 years ago. Saw the IT guy fixing it with the CMOS battery and telling me that always keep the computer clock correct.

Actually, I don't remember... I had two calls from two different people; one I helped reset the clock to normal and one I didn't. I can't remember which person this was...

True story? Idk, just made me laugh
Every IT admin's wish
Local time: 10:45 AM
I get a call from a customer. "My computer isn't working," she says. "I can't get to Google."
"What does it say?" Ideas swirl through my mind as I ask the question. I've seen this problem before.
"'Your connection is not private,'" says she. "I just want to buy a program."
I instantly know what the problem is.
"What time does your computer say it is?" I say it calmly, almost with a knowing smile. Yes, this has to be the issue.
"Um... 1:40," she says, a drip of confusion in her voice.
"That's your problem," I say. "Just fix that and you'll be good to go."
The problem was resolved and all was good.
