I've never seen one that lasted for 10 years, and I've had to replace
several CR2032 lithium cells on motherboards that were ~5 years old. And
those were good quality cells, made in Japan.
These cells do age (and discharge) with time, and temperature plays a role
on the aging. Since the motherboard design will also play a major role,
YMMV.
