​The actual, numerical value stored in such a cell is a number of day. To
find this out, you can remove formating.

Suppose you have 02:58.03 in A1, you put "=A1" in A2, then Ctrl+M to remove
formatting, it will show you something like 0.002060532
To convert from "number of day" to "number of seconds", multiply with
60*60*24. For example, putting "=A1*60*60*24" in A3 will display 178.03
