Is the Sony A7 still a good camera for beginners today?

I found a used Sony A7 at a good price and want to know if the original model still performs well. Is it good for photography, video, or learning full-frame basics?

The full-frame sensor of the original Sony A7 still produces high-quality images. However, newer, more affordable APS-C models are frequently a better starting option for novices due to its slow autofocus and outdated battery/menus.
