How does a device know the date after it’s been turned off for years?

This could be a silly question but I recently found my old DS Lite that hasn’t been turned on since 2011. When I turned it on after over 10 years it had the accurate date and time, how does it know that?

They tend to have small watches with watch batteries built in.

Those batteries can keep the small internal watch running for years.
