At the top of that picture, those two black plastics lugs with the gap in between, that is where I would be inserting something small and flick that battery out with.
OK, cool.
So why are you removing the battery for.
And it looks like you could really do with a can of compressed air or an air compressor (if Dad has one) and blow out the dust build up.
If you are going to blow out dust, there are things to consider first, so let us know, don't go charging in and making things worse like I fear you could have already done by ripping out the GPU mid-use.

A big part of doing things yourself is knowing when you are out of your depth and need to get help. 
We have all been there, starting at knowing nothing and learning as we go.
You seem to be charging blindly ahead - like ripping out the GPU mid-use, and now the CMOS battery.
I thought you had the PC running fine, when the GPU was removed. This would indicate the GPU is your issue, or at least the first thing to replace.
Try getting your hands on another one if you can, like a friend, family, spare, or neighbour's PC.
