This is usually caused by a dying battery. In most modern systems, the BIOS can retain most settings even after the battery goes dead. The sole function of the battery in these cases is to keep the system's real-time clock running.

The real-time clock is a fairly cheap component. A drift of a couple of seconds a day is typical in low-end systems. If the exact time is important, I would suggest synchronizing your operating system's clock with a time server every hour or so.
