Not necessarily. I had a computer once where the BIOS battery died and time didn't pass while the machine was turned off. It didn't reset to any date in the past, it just stayed where it was when I turned it off.
I thought it was pretty amusing actually, it became a bit of a game for myself to see how far behind real time I could get it.
