Netscape used RSA SecurID tokens when I joined in 1996. I still have kine, but the battery long since expired.

Presumably you can get a new watch battery for it, non?

The tokens are not intended to be servicable. Even if you replaced the battery, you couldn't set the time, so I don't think you could sync your token and your verifier.

And I don't know if these things had protections against being opened anyway.
