That’s normal. Do NOT replace the battery if you are targeting the collector’s market. The few times I’ve seen them at swap shows the ones with the matching colour backpacks always went for major money. 4 digits. Those backpacks can get into mid 3-digit range on ebay. But normal trade is above ebay but 2x+. $500 range is not uncommon. The ones you have are “stuffed”. That term /May/ help a bit on less accessible forums. Start with Reddit. Multiple Apple collectors’ subs.
For me personally, With game systems, give me time at your table or booth to take the shell off and run parts ids and if, IF, I buy it will be worth your while. At collectors gatherings that’s quite normal. I have no problem dropping $500 on an A series 002 genesis; or A or B series mega drive if it’s original. I’ll give you ten bucks if the capacitors have been swapped with newer radio shack ones.
