Could some kind soul tell me what the log below means re Primary battery in an old laptop?

 

Briefly boot up message error 601 [Primary battery low], so I replaced the coin battery with a new one. Previously, I tried to update BIOS, then laptop couldn't find a hard drive [eMMC]. Now updated BIOS by USB drive. Still couldn't find hard drive, so I enabled Legacy Bootup, & boots properly into Win 10 now.

But still Primary battery low message. I think this might be a "false positive" so to speak. Time & date not lost when laptop off & not connected to external power.

I've put what seem relevant matters in bold.
