My money has to be on the BIOS battery. This runs the RTC when the machine isn't running and probably the voltage is too low to run the clock. Changing this battery has to be the first move.

csx_Parse_CISTPL_BATTERY(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers csx_Parse_CISTPL_BATTERY(9F)
NAME
csx_Parse_CISTPL_BATTERY - parse the Battery Replacement Date tuple
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/pccard.h>
int32_t csx_Parse_CISTPL_BATTERY(client_handle_t ch, tuple_t *tu,
cistpl_battery_t *cb);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI Specific (Solaris DDI)
PARAMETERS
ch Client handle returned from csx_RegisterClient(9F).
tu Pointer to a tuple_t structure (see tuple(9S)) returned by a call to csx_GetFirstTuple(9F) or csx_GetNextTuple(9F).
cb Pointer to a cistpl_battery_t structure which contains the parsed CISTPL_BATTERY tuple information upon return from this function.
DESCRIPTION
This function parses the Battery Replacement Date tuple, CISTPL_BATTERY, into a form usable by PC Card drivers.
The CISTPL_BATTERY tuple is an optional tuple which shall be present only in PC Cards with battery-backed storage. It indicates the date on
which the battery was replaced, and the date on which the battery is expected to need replacement. Only one CISTPL_BATTERY tuple is allowed
per PC Card.
STRUCTURE MEMBERS
The structure members of cistpl_battery_t are:
uint32_t rday; /* date battery last replaced */
uint32_t xday; /* date battery due for replacement */
The fields are defined as follows:
rday This field indicates the date on which the battery was last replaced.
xday This field indicates the date on which the battery should be replaced.
RETURN VALUES
CS_SUCCESS Successful operation.
CS_BAD_HANDLE Client handle is invalid.
CS_UNKNOWN_TUPLE Parser does not know how to parse tuple.
CS_NO_CARD No PC Card in socket.
CS_NO_CIS No Card Information Structure (CIS) on PC Card.
CS_UNSUPPORTED_FUNCTION No PCMCIA hardware installed.
CONTEXT
This function may be called from user or kernel context.
