You can try and get a specialist repairer to change the battery, these are precision items and difficult to repair yourself. I would just live with it.
Why not try a set of rechargeable batteries? they can be used 5 times as long as alkaline batteries, every time you charge them. And when you have charged them yourself you can be sure they doe have the capacity needed for the camera. There is no way of telling alkaline batteries are full, because even when they are exhausted they will give the same voltage on your multimeter as a new battery. I don't think it has to do with the date battery, because that would show you the date / time menu on the display.
The camera will not deface your photos by scrawling a string of digits across them. However the date and time (and a lot more) are stored with every picture in its EXIF metadata. Any photo viewing/editing program should be able to display this data. To print this data, please consult the documentation for whatever program you're using to print your pictures. Depending on the program and printer you may print the date on the image, in the margins, or on the back.
Canon S3 IS cannot stamp date and time directly on photos. The date and time data is inserted digitally in the photo files as EXIF data which can be read by many software products. Try loading your photos with Picasa for example and you can see the date and time photo was taken.

It is likely that an internal integrated circuit in the DC/DC board is damaged.
You will need to have your camera reviewed by a qualified technician to have it repaired, since it requires open the camera and evaluate the DC/DC board performance.

Call Canon for free tech support and I'd advise sending it in for free estimate. If your camera is more than a year old, you will qualify for the upgrade program which is often cheaper than repairing it.
