If it's full blown hermmie, meaning there's flowers on every node, you would probably want to pick them before they open or your entire plant will be the seediest shit you've ever had.

If you have a mild case of the hermmies, you'll tend to have the seeds form on the inner branches only,..branches whose tops are aren't out in the open.

I usually kill them off to keep everything else from becoming seeded trash. If it is a lone plant, then you can produce seed stock from it, yes. Wipe your grow area down with bleach and water or the pollen will remain viable for a long time and seed even after the plant is gone.

Hermies do produce seeds. They produce feminized seeds. If it is a good plant it could be worth playing with if you need more seeds. If the plant is good producer, height, high and so on it would be worth it. There is the chance they will continue to produce hermies but not likely just a higher chance. Best to separate it if is full of pollen. Or put a bag over the branch area and cut it off. Transfer pollen with a paint brush. Happy growing.

Oh yeah, there usually are plenty of seeds.
I've heard it upps the chance of getting more hermis later though.

I'm currently flowering a one month old plant that came from hermie pollen seed. A pure indica plant was pollenated by a 75% indica that hermed at 8 wks. Both were very tall and large, hard bud. I vegged this plant 3 wks and took clones. It's been in 12/12 about a week and a half and has shown female. As long as it doesn't herm again for 8 wks, I don't have a problem with it. And the crossed bud should be very good shit.

The pollen from the hermie is a good thing. Take that pollen and fertilize another female plant you like and that cuts the next gen hermie thing down and you'll have a bunch of lady beans for the next time.
