Is your's soldered in? I assume it is. Considering the life span of 5 years or more, it's almost easier to just solder in a new one.
But if you must have a holder, some of our vendors carry those.
On eBay  - "spininc" sells the pc-mount version as well. IF you buy on eBay though, beware - there's a lot of people who sell crappy out of date button batteries. I've had a few arrive DOA - low voltage before I put them in.

Mouser electronics sells the holder.  Its a 23mm through hole soldered in type.   made by Eagle plastics,  122-2523-GR,  cost about 1.25 each.

hope this helps

Actually, even though many Radio Shack stores have closed their website is still available. Not making a recommendation, just saying they are still around.

And many electronics places have battery holders, like Jameco, Mouser, Fry's, etc.
