I have a couple of questions about a newly aquired FM-4. First of all, it is
missing the battery and there is some signs of leakage. Where can I find
replacement non-leaking cells? ...

The part is a Varta mempac 4/V150H 4.8 V NiMH rechargeable. I got some
from CPC (http://cpc.farnell.com) - part number BT00153. Google reveals
a few other sources too.

I think Quad will supply them potted to help avoid leakage issues.

... Also looks like C55 is missing a cap,
resistor, etc? Can someone tell me the value and kind of component for C55?

C55 was deleted from the circuit in tuners from approx S/N 5100 onwards.
It was 47 nF but you should leave it out.
