Ouch!  Your config includes the ntp daemon.  Could it be that it’s
misbehaving?

You can remove it along the lines of:

  (define %my-desktop-services
    (remove (lambda (service)
              (eq? (service-kind service) ntp-service-type))
            %desktop-services))

Well, you need to export ‘ntp-service-type’ from (gnu services
networking) first…

Other than that, I have no idea what could be resetting the hardware
clock to 0.

HTH,
