The camera has a small internal battery in it to retain things like camera settings and film counter for when you take the main batteries to change them etc .

I'm not sure that the internal battery is easily replaceable . It certainly wouldn't be worth paying someone to repair it !

The internally battery is a standard Lithium type and user-replaceable. Here's a video demonstrating the procedure for the 7000, and I think the 5000 is the same:

Hope this helps.
