Your clock will be wrong and a few settings may be incorrect. However, it will not be like formatting because that is your hard drive and this is your botherboard.

Depends, upon if you leave the PSU plugged into AC mains.
If unplugged, and you remove the Bios battery, it goes back to factory defaults.
Then, you might need to run CMOS Setup, before the drives can be recognized in the BIOS. Depends on the make, model, year, revision level of the board.
Plus, be aware that most batteries need to be replaced someday, usually 3 to 5 years. Have seen 12 years on some batteries.
The clock will be reset to some prior date, so files will be screwed up and even corrupted, if you don't have the new battery, and CMOS setup right.

dates and stuff should stay the same if it is only for a few seconds. if you remove it for about 10 minutes or so, then all BIOS settings will be reset. This is no cause for concern. No data from your hard disk will be erased as these components are unrelated. Before removing the battery just record any important BIOS setttings such as cpu speed, hard disk settings, boot order, so you can re-enter these if the bios is reset.

its called flashing the bios. This means that ur bios will get reset to default factory settings with all default values. U would loose all modifications done on your bios such as time, boot sequence, Graphics card memory allocation(if its an inbuilt shared graphics card)
Best for troubleshooting in case of serious errors.Wont harm the system
