What do you call the battery that is soldered on the board?

I have opened many devices and many of them have a battery soldered on their boards (some of which are corroded). I assume it's for time/date backup etc.

What's it called and is it available on the market?

@thechip the answer by @gkoukoul is correct. Sometimes those batteries are also referred to a RTC (Real Time Clock) battery. As for availability that will depend on the device make and model. Most are available frome warehouse electronic supplkiers like Digikey.dom or Mouser.com.

It's called Cmos battery (or bios battery) and it comes in a lot of different types.

Yes, but is it available on the market? The only place I could find one is from another board.

I'm not sure if you can find on the market. Maybe ebay.
