That rust would be from the battery acid. I have actually heard of very old PRAM batteries exploding like this in Macs before, I'd say there's a chance it could be the original PRAM battery, and that at some point the machine may have been dropped or otherwise received a violent shock, causing the battery to explode (Lithium batteries can become extremely volatile to shock when they age)
