The shield is designed not to function with the operation of the calculator but only to hold batteries and must be removed as printed on it.

Not correct. The shield is supposed to be removed only if you are using rechargeable batteries (in the HP 82120A). This is what the message embossed on the upper face says.

The purpose of the shield was to prevent N-cell battery leakage from damaging the contacts and interior components, and is intended to be installed inside the machine, and you insert the battery pack into it; it's a precise fit and thought may look like it won't fit, it does just fine. If it was not intended to be used in the machine, it would not have the 4 metal tabs on the upper end to contact the 4 copper contacts on the I/O flex.
