If changing the battery is not the problem, then you may want to set up your system using NTP, Network Time Protocol, to adjust your clock.
If you want to just set the time once, using ntpdate with a known time server, for example [as root]
ntpdate clock.nyc.he.net

SYSTEMD-TIMESYNCD.SERVICE(8) systemd-timesyncd.service SYSTEMD-TIMESYNCD.SERVICE(8)
NAME
systemd-timesyncd.service, systemd-timesyncd - Network Time Synchronization
SYNOPSIS
systemd-timesyncd.service
/lib/systemd/systemd-timesyncd
DESCRIPTION
systemd-timesyncd is a system service that may be used to synchronize the local system clock with a remote Network Time Protocol server. It
also saves the local time to disk every time the clock has been synchronized and uses this to possibly advance the system realtime clock on
subsequent reboots to ensure it monotonically advances even if the system lacks a battery-buffered RTC chip.
The systemd-timesyncd service specifically implements only SNTP. This minimalistic service will set the system clock for large offsets or
slowly adjust it for smaller deltas. More complex use cases are not covered by systemd-timesyncd.
The NTP servers contacted are determined from the global settings in timesyncd.conf(5), the per-link static settings in .network files, and
the per-link dynamic settings received over DHCP. See systemd.network(5) for more details.
timedatectl(1)'s set-ntp command may be used to enable and start, or disable and stop this service.
FILES
/var/lib/systemd/timesync/clock
This file contains the timestamp of the last successful synchronization.
