That is a moot point. Here's Apple's advice from AppleCare doc # 14449 at

1. If the computer is on, turn it off.
2. Press the reset button located on the rear panel of the computer between
the external video and modem ports.
3. Wait 5 seconds.
4. Press the Power button to restart the computer.
Note: Resetting the power manager also resets the date and time. After the
reset, the system clock is set to 12:00 A.M., 01/01/1904.

It isn't clear whether the button needs to be held down or not. And in view
of your warning, it is surprising that Apple doesn't mention any such risk.
Nor does it mention removing the battery.
