There is no replaceable PRAM battery in this model. This model uses a capacitor on the logic board to hold the PRAM settings.

No - the "regular" battery provides that function.

Yes, you need to unsolder it. It is located right next to the trackpad connector. It looks exactly like a small watch battery with solder tabs. Be very careful, too much heat and the logic board trace will lift.

"I am looking at a small battery soldered onto the A1278 logic board right now as I type. All macbooks and macbook pros have batteries, but most are on a pigtailed connector either taped to the logic board or hidden under the optical drive. The sizes range from a 1/4 dime to a quarter. The types are lithium although the smallest almost seem like alkalines?"
