Odd SID reset when battery dies

My battery isn't holding a charge, so I've had to get a jump start a couple times this weekend. I have a 2005 9-5 Arc Wagon, so I presume I'll get the battery replaced under warranty later today.
Whenever I've tried to start the car with the weak battery, and there hasn't been enough juice to get the car started, the clock has reset to midnight, and the date on the SID has reset to Jan 1st. But, here's the odd part: the year on the SID stays set to 2007. I would think it would reset to the earliest possible year in its memory -- probably 2004, the year the car was manufactured. But, while the memory for the time, month and date gets wiped out, the memory for the year persists. Hmmmmmmm.
