By 3.6 Volt battery he is talking about the 1/2 AA battery that is on the motherboard that is used to keep settings, similar to a cmos battery on a windows board. Basically pulling the battery does the same thing as resetting the bios on a pc
I'm a mac tech for a college, so I get to deal with these things on a daily basis, I would say that its toast. We have a few that are the same age and have had a fairly high failure rate on them after 3-4 years, so I wouldnt say it is unlikely.
