Is all research experience good experience or should you not work in areas that you may not be fully interested in anymore?

So I got an offer for a research assistantship at my undergrad institution for some work in an area that would be my second-third choice if I were choosing it for grad schools. I'm not sure if I'm 100% interested in that area anymore, but I believe it might help me with applications this year, as I'm taking a gap year to improve my profile before applying again. Is it worth it to take up the offer? 

(Also as a small side question, if the asking professor asks for a list of the courses you've taken as an undergrad, do you give them your transcript or just actually send them just a list without any grades?)

EDIT: Thank you everyone for the comments!! I think I'll take up the offer then and try to learn something out of it, hopefully it'll help my apps and I'm starting to think I'll enjoy it too!! Thankss!!

I think all research experience is good experience, particularly for undergrads. Honestly unless you have a better offer lined up, you can’t really be that picky when it comes to your research topic. There are so many factors involved that’s it not reasonable to expect everybody to only research topics they are extremely interested in. You research what you can get funding to research, and hopefully this lines up somewhat with what your interests are.
