I have no idea why...all I can think is about some discrete component retaining a charge which was preventing the correct boot...but it's a speculation.

Any idea ?

Probably correct.

The calculator software might have failed and was running incorrectly, maybe due to an invalid memory location. When you removed the batteries for a while the calculator internals were probably able to reset properly, and all worked again.

I imagine removing the batteries and shorting the calculator battery terminals might achieve the same result.
