The zener diode thing is interesting.

That 10uF capacitor would power the RAM for a while.  As they only need such a tiny current, and can normally retain memory contents down to quite a low voltage, it may even last for a few hours.

Tantalum capacitors tend to last well, unless they're subjected to reverse voltage.  It's usually electrolytic capacitors that need replacing due to age.
