So, no offense - but if you're looking for something interesting and that will really get you into the "history" of cycling, you need to find a new bike. This bike will never be much of a historic or interesting specimen.
But having said that, if it suits your purpose then what do you care what some snobs have to say
I say ride it and enjoy it. Who cares what it is?
+1 Exactly what he said. Department store bike era has come and gone. Few if any of the bikes were decent, so no one is tracking the history.
My first bike came that way, it was purchased at a lawn mower repair shop in the middle of the bike boom. The shop was so small, they didn't even carry new mowers. But they had their "own" brand of bicycle.
But at the same time, if it meets your needs, who cares? Ride it! If later you want something with a little more history, keep an eye out for a name brand bike at garage sales or thrift stores. You'll eventually find one at a very attractive price. That's how this sickness starts. Mine started with a wonderful $16 Lotus from Goodwill.........
