It seems odd to me that the battery had enough power to actually start your car, yet the clock reset. In any event, if the battery is still good, you should be able to recharge it either by driving it for several hours or by using a battery charger. Be sure to check your electrolyte level in the battery and top it off with distilled water if it's low. If the battery won't take a charge, it was getting close to needing replacement anyway and you'll need to do that. You can tell for sure by getting it load-tested. Jump-starting the car won't make any difference to the battery.
