It's under the silver disc with the walkman logo, which is stuck on. I was able to prise mine off with a tiny screwdriver blade to reveal a single screw underneath. A needle or pin might work. Remove the screw and the back slides downwards a little then lifts off. See page 84 in the user guide.
The original battery was stuck to the metal chassis with a dollop of glue. If you remove the 4 tiny screws securing the chassis to the main body then you should find it easier to ease the battery from the metal chassis. Be sure you put the screws down where they cannot be lost! You'll also need to pull the battery wire connector out of the socket to the side - gently but firmly pull towards the top of the player (i.e. in the direction of the wires coming out of the connector) to remove it.
