Try removing the battery for an hour or so, to let the backup battery
lose the time (you'll have to set your clock again after this), then
insert the battery again and see if you have the same problem.

If this solution works, it's probably a bug in the alarm software that
does not reset the RTC-alarm after the alarm has been acknowledged.
