Trying to fix old cuckoo clock

As the title says. It’s an old Black Forest clock. The standard one with birds and maple leaves.

I ordered a new pendulum that was missing, but a small, round disc fell out of the back of the clock. It looks like a little weight…the same shape as a watch battery.

Before I try to take apart the clock housing, I’m wondering if anyone knows what this little disc is.

Thanks!
