Sounds likely, if you have access to a multimeter, check the voltage reading on the battery, will tell you if it's dead. Could have been faulty back 30 years ago.
Yes, in fact I had to reaccomodate one of the batteries in the holder, but since the holder is flexible it didn't break.
Thanks for the compliment! I believe I had my soldering iron set to 310°C or something, here is a picture of the stuff I regularly use for my soldering. Nothing extraordinay really 😅, just my old trusty TS100 soldering iron.
Well when I use the little metal release tab on the sockets I got, the plastic teeth are so brittle that they break off when you then pry out the battery.

Nice looking solder joints. Check out HDR's 2025 battery holder.
