Yes, buy it for the lens, if nothing else! The aperture may need cleaning, but the trouble will be worth it.
As for the metering on the Minolta, it is not difficult. Just remember that the CLC metering is biased to center and the lower half of the frame.
Edit: This was the conventional wisdom back in the day, but to be honest, I have not found it to be so. I just meter the frame and forget about it.
Edit: I am not sure, but I think that hood might be intended for one of the available Rokkor wide-angles.
