Here it is.

However, you need to unpeel and re-apply some necessary thermal paste to replace it, only if you're up to it.

The first couple of times I read the question I was also thinking iBook, and you are correct that they do not have PRAM batteries. However, by my third or fourth reading, I realized he is asking about iMacs. Thanks for the info!
