The clock chip is part of U9 (the 82371EB (PIIX4E) south bridge just to the right of the Intel Flash chip) as can be seen by its proximity to Y1 (the 32768Hz watch crystal).
According to the data sheet for the 82371AB (an earlier version than the 82371EB found on my PCB) the RTC has a 256 byte battery-backed CMOS SRAM with two 8 byte lockout ranges.
