And, that battery, I've never seen anything like it in my life!
It's about 6" long, is Eveready, and, has a long number on it. I doubt it could still be purchased.
It snaps into those other battery clips.
Is the radio supposed to take the 6 batteries, and, the 9 volt, or, what??
All battery clips are connected with wires, and, that 9 volt battery is connectedwith that 2 prong plug.
Is this a 9 volt radio, or, higher than that?

It looks like the radio is set up to use 6 "D" cells or an enclosed battery, such as the Eveready 2762N or 2761N or perhaps 2506... Notice the outlet plug in the lid next to the speaker that matches the battery connector. My guess is that if 6 "D" cells are used, the 2 prong plug from the radio would be plugged in there. If a large 9 volt battery is used, then of course the 2 prong plug from the radio would be plugged into the battery directly.
Clever Design!
