Both of these are direct replacements:

This is just how lithium batteries used to be until widespread standards appeared. You could simply rig an 18650 cell in its place instead of hunting down proprietary old form factors.

The wires are most likely soldered to the cell, you'll have to cobble up your own wire attachment method.
Voltage-wise, use a multimeter to measure the voltage at the RTC when power is on. That will usually be 5V (from 5VSB on ATX motherboards) diode-OR'd with the battery so you get 2.5-3.5V at the RTC when it is on the battery depending on remaining battery charge and 4.5V when power is on.

Hey guys, sorry for the extremely late reply
can i rig a Mn O2-Li cell to it? or does it have to be a 18650 cell
i can't order any of the replacements above due to them being from the U.S
And its usually expensive to import items from the U.S to Greece

Anything that's between 3.5V and 5V fresh should be fine. You could use 3xAA if you wanted, just need to put the battery holder somewhere where leaking batteries won't damage anything.

Many year's ago I worked on a desktop PC that used a proprietary battery like the picture showed. I did not feel like tracking down the same kind of battery for the computer. So I made a quick trip to RadioShack and ended up buying a battery holder and bought a 3.5v battery for it as well.
At that point I got the connector off the old battery. Then I soldered the connector on to the new battery holder and connected it to the motherboard like it was before. It worked like a charm without any problems at all.
