As one of many re-posters pointed out:

Sorry about that -- I usually do Mac SE's (4 screws, internal NiCad),
 and the one Mac Plus i did was in such a rush that i didn't remember
 the battery-screw (but, look -- you should THINK as you work, and
  just for safety's sake remove the battery to avoid damage due to
  accidental shorting of printed circuit traces  while it's open)
Maybe better instructions would be: Remove any Torx screws you can find.
