The CMOS battery in the thinkpad 560X is referred to as the "Backup
Battery" according to the ThinkPad 560X Hardware Maintenance Manual.

The manual is located here:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=PFAN-3T5RFV

On page 70 of the PDF there is an image which shows how the backup battery is 
removed.  
To sum it up, there is a panel on the bottom of the thinkpad that you
can unscrew and open.  Within the panel is the tadpole (i think it is
often a yellow color) like backup battery.

I am not sure where you can buy a new battery since the Thinkpads are
so old.  The first site that froogle shows when searching for
"thinkpad 560x CMOS battery"  is
http://www.dsmiller.com/html/Laptop-NoteBook-IBM-ThinkPad-560X-B-313.htm
which sells them for about $8.
