As I recall, to replace the battery you must take the meter off, then the battery door is underneath, where it would be against the pentaprism housing.
Thanks, is there a modern equivalent to that battery or is it still in production?

Cannot answer as I do not know the battery designation - beyond D, C, AA, AAA, and maybe 357, I have trouble keeping them straight.

Originally a PX625 mercury cell. There are many adapters for smaller cells (386) that correct the voltage and work fine. Such as
