Yes, non-volatile memory chips.

But what about the clock? Internal battery (aka planned obsolescence)?

Very likely. I have seen a lot of equipment with internally soldered LiIon
batteries, lasting about 10 years. Then they need to be replaced. GPS
receivers from Garmin are a nice example, as are (ham-) radios from Yaesu.
