When it happens, it works regardless of orientation.
This is also only one of the pathologic behaviours the seconds hand exhibits.
As mentioned, the battery should have a year left still. (It was replaced last year.)
The watch is also supposed to tick in 2s steps when the watch detects a low battery and I haven’t seen that happen yet.

Haha, no this is just the timer mode.
The seconds hand is supposed to tick backwards and it still usually does but sometimes it just does this. Ticking backwards (or any motion that isn’t just forwards) also appears to be what gets the hand out of sync IME.
The “weird mode” is actually what it gets into when you do the reset. The seconds hand was also super janky and went all over the place.
I elaborated elsewhere in the thread why I think a low battery is unlikely.
