Isn't this is the case with a lot of electronics that have a battery?

Its not the battery. Its the result of a bad batch of samsung supplied eMMC chips that have a random change of corrupting themselves which increases with age. SSBU was infamous for trigering it already (due to how often it wrote to the eMMC) and here it seems to be triggered by activating the console after its been dormant for a long time.

It also only affects launch 32gb Wii U models with the aftermentioned Samsung chips. Not the ones with Toshiba and Hynix made chips.
