It did indeed cold start without the power adapter - even though I was sure I'd plugged it back in, I actually hadn't. And, once I shut it down after the battery warnings, it didn't boot itself when I connected the power adapter. It does appear that the PRAM battery has some life in it.
Ironically, when I saw this PB on eBay, it was a 3400 or Kanga I was actually looking for, not least as a result of your 3400 find. This 5300 is really excellent though, and being a 97-build for the extended repair program, I hope will be a tiny bit more reliable than the original production run was!
