Hi! I have a PS2 Slim SPCH-77004 and the battery is not visible as shown in my photo:

Hello, just had the same problem. The Battery is moved to the left side of the board. It is above the power connector under the metal plate. I was able to lift the metal (there are some screws on the back) and replace it without need to completely remove the metal. A bit fiddly. Had to replace the laser too. And just found out you have to remove the ESD Solderpoint so that the laser works. Thougt it was broken.
Honestly they must have moved it in your revision of the board. That or moved it onboard. I’d proceed with caution and remove the motherboard to check for different placements. That is truly strange though.
