I don't know that anyone has ever tried. Obviously, you'd need a
large enough sample set of ones that _haven't_ died. Probably tricky
by now. I suppose if you could match up original MAC addresses with
bar bodes via system logs, you could garner a few examples, but by and
large, they are so old that I'd be surprised if any still held a charge
on their own.

Why, when they can sell you a replacement NVRAM pre-programmed for 3x or
more the cost of a factory-fresh one?
