Replace just the capacitors on the secondary side (you will see they would be bad as they start to leak). Be sure to clean the PCB before you put the new capacitors in. You will also face the problem, as these values used there are obsolete, and you would want to use nearest higher values.

After you are done with the Power Supply, you will probably want to recap the logic board as it is also long due. This is a bit more involved, but manageable.

Old capacitors there will cause lots of problems, from not booting, to whining from the speaker, to white screens at boot, random lockups and more. This is a bit more involved, but manageable.

The PRAM battery should be removed and will not cause any problems if it is removed. The only model I remember that acted funny without PRAM battery was the LC 475 series, others did not care about it.
Recap the Power Supply!
