No.

 

It does not have a CMOS battery.

 

"The CMOS checksum is invalid" means that the BIOS is corrupt.

 

Download the BIOS update  on another Windows laptop or desktop PC.  Use it to create a BIOS flash drive.

Boot to the flash drive on the laptop and the update should correct the issue.

This may or may not not work, since you have installed an unsupported operating system
