My Mac did a similar thing once.  I took out the battery for some reason,
and when I put it back, the clock was very erratic.  It would sometimes
tick once ever 30 seconds or so, and sometimes it would go several
minutes with no ticking.

I took the battery out and left it out ( with the Mac unplugged ) overnight.
This did not fix it.

Solution?  I had AppleCare, so I let my dealer deal with the problem.
He did a board swap.
