I also found nothing about TRNG on the TI-89ti. So I assumed the TO may asked not about true random but a hardcoded function and asked for more information.

assumption (philosophical not science):
randseed() without parameter uses the current time as seed. The start time of a manually started program cannot be determined or reproduced. So the first random() may be considered as a true random number. No clock in the world ist 100% accurate. If you use a new randseed() without parameter after the time when the inaccuracy of one's own clock occurred it also isn't a period.
