Your notebook does not have a CMOS battery.

 

The main battery also serves as the CMOS battery which maintains the BIOS and system clock settings.

 

Below is the link to the service manual:

 

Maintenance and Service Guide OMEN by HP 17 Laptop PC

 

Chapter 3 has the list of parts.

 

You will find no CMOS/RTC battery part number.

 

Chapter 6 has the component removal and replacement procedure.

 

You will not find a procedure to remove a CMOS/RTC battery.

 

According to the troubleshooting guide at the link below, your notebook may have a BIOS issue.
