I was a bit surprised to find NO mention of the RTC in the 500+'s data 
sheet.

Currently I am running a Pi4 with an RTC backed up with a fairly tiny 
supercapacitor. I read a claim (which I have not independently verified) 
that the supercapacitor can keep my clock running accurately for a month 
or longer with no external power applied.

When the Pi5 was first introduced, both lithium battery and supercapacitor 
options were discussed for RTC backup, but since then I've read close to 
nothing of the supercapacitor option.
