<I have an old PC which has a leaky nicad battery soldered to the PCB. There
<stuff coming out of the battery, which has corroded the PCB traces near it
<This is probably the reason why the machine doesn't work properly.

Any mild acid works to neutralize the alkaline NICAd eletrolyte. I
personally found lemon juice or vinegar effective and then washing the board
well afterwards. Replace the battery!

<guess I'll just have to solder some wires in place.

Yep!
