Am I misssing something here? The corroded battery is a PP9 and these are still widely available, admittedly at around £5 each. AFAIK rechargeable versions are/were on the market, too. I'm not familiar with the R24, although I've repaired quite a lot of Roberts radios, both the older 'genuine' ones, and the ones withmore modern Sangean or other Chinese Electronucs inside. The 24 looks like one of the earlier examples of the latter type (if that makes any sense!)
