Q: Macbook Pro Mid-2009 Upgrade - is it worth it?

I just "inherited" my wife's Macbook Pro Mid-2009 (yes its October 2016).  She has upgraded the memory to 4GB with internal storage of 320GB.  I would need to remove the HD (for back up) and preferably replace it with an SSD (100 to 200 GB); and I would want to upgrade the RAM to 8GB. Considering the costs ($100-$150) is it worth it? Will other parts of this laptop deteriorate?  This would be my first Apple computer, so i'm looking to learn the new OS, etc.  Can i even get the newer versions for free, or would I need to purchase it?  Thanks for any suggestions.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
