Hello,
It's always advisable to have a copy of the system restore disk, I personally wouldn't by a second hand Mac without the system restore disk.
If you buy a retail copy of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, then you can always use that as a restore disk should your
iBook hard drive become faulty in the future. The only difference between retails and the restore disk is the added software that come bundled with your iBook when you first purchased it new.
The added bonus of Mac OS X 10.5 is the handy featured application called 'Time Machine'. Plug in a external drive and Time Machine will create backups of your system. You can even restore from the Time Machine in the event of complete failure.
So it's up to you, if you think buying the original restore disk would be of some benefits to you.
It's also worth noting that with the retail Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard disk, you can simple just upgrade your current OS. Not loosing any applications or files you already have installed. It would be wise to create a backup before you do any upgrades to the OS, backups of personal files and applications.
Best of luck
