It looks like it goes to a Wi-Fi module that's installed on the motherboard. I think they're the antennas.

What is this wire that reaches from my PSU all the way to a battery or something on the bottom of my PC?

Those look to be Wifi antenna cables for what looks to be a wifi card on your board.

Yep that's a wifi card, small one at that, but they run the antenna's out of metal chassis most of the time and hide it behind some plastic panels as it ensures it has a good signal instead of having to try and pass through the metal chassis.

Is this connected to the PSU, I'm planning to switch and don't want to somehow tear it by pulling out the old PSU

It's not directly connected to the PSU.
