Of course it's worth it. You got it for free. All it takes to start is some of your time and wee bit of effort.
But since you don't seem interested here's a suggestion. Box it up and send it to J Miller's half way house for unwanted sewing machines. It will be rehabilitated so it can get back out in society and find a home where it's loved and cherished.
Seriously, if you take a half hour and do some cleaning, pull the top off if comes off, or just give the machine a good look see you'll know what it's going to take to put it back in action. Probably just oil, and tightening the hand wheel clutch nob.

I just love your phrase " J Miller's halfway house for unwanted sewing machines". ... I have the counterpart... Lori's halfway house for unwanted fabric.
