I think that the circuit board should have a battery in it but I don't see one. If it were a game.

Batteries in cartridges are for one of 2 things saving, or clocks. Until the GBA era where they were just for clocks.

So games that didn't save or used a password system wouldn't have a battery.

It's actually one of the definitive ways to tell a fake GBA game from a real one because fakes use a battery to save.
