Where do we buy replacement batteries for a Legacy controller?

They are normal AA NiMh rechargeable batteries. There are dozens of good well liked brands.

Edit:  I like watching Project Farm Videos and reviews of products. I may not always agree with testing methods or nitpicking, but he is independent, not sponsored, and just genuinely tests these things that people suggest. This one just happens to be AA Rechargeable common battery brands of various sources. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jXQNY6rve8

I personally had been using Amazon - yes, they have their own "brand" and EBL. In my own mix of rechargeables, I also have some Duracell brand rechargeables from the local Bj's club. They all have been cycled through the remote (CAB2) and other uses on my layout in a continuous cycle now for at least 2-3 years.

I don't use my 990 set for charging, but I do have a 993 recharging base- it's just I'm bad about not parking the remote on it, so again, the batteries are often circulated in my recharging "pool" of batteries and so I can say that I have used several brands without issues.
