A hole like that will be surrounded by thinner sheet metal because of rust, so you can't just weld them up, you probably would want to cut out chunks of the tank and make a patch panel. Is it worth it depends on what you feel like learning, and what tools you have access to. I'd probably pay the money for a new tank if you can find one, and don't have past sheet metal experience.

The issue with tanks is that if they are good, the bike they are on is also usually good. If a bike is neglected, crashed, or abandoned, the tank is usually destroyed first. Good tanks don't get parted out often, so finding one takes some care.
