No one has ever made an R79 or an R79W reproduction Battery,just the R89.It's a completely different design too.
They slap an R79 sticker on a current R89 battery and say Happy Birthday.
For those not up on the design difference,the side case will clearly show E-5000 R89 embossed into it.

There is a group of 15 batteries on ebay right now... 2 NOS Y87's 2 NOS Y55's a NOS R69 NOS Y59 and some other's for $2000... really if you needed a couple it would be a good buy for someone with multiple cars.
