These are superb recreational and transportation bikes, and the ones with step-through frames are theft-resistant. If you do your own work, it is definitely worth saving (new rubber as needed, new grease all around, possibly new brake cables). Collectors have never been interested in Japanese-built bikes (other than 3Rensho, etc.), but the value of old 10-speeds is starting to rise. With a little TLC and $50 parts investment, that World will run circles around any new bike retailing for less than $300.
