You can let the car sit without a battery for a long time with no bad effects.
My suggestion is, if you know the store has the battery, drive the car there and exchange it on the spot - will save you time in disposing of the old battery. You can always make the connections 'right' when you get to a convenient place to work on it. By 'right' I mean making sure battery is seated correctly and tightened down, clean the hold down bolts if they have acid on them, clean the cable lugs and battery terminals, and then dress the connections (or not) as you see fit, e.g. use anti corrosion or petroleum jelly.
You mention the locks work without the battery? Really???
