Unfortunately the amount of delta-V you’d need to boost it to a parking orbit of some kind, or to the moon, would be deeply impractical. And it doesn’t have the shielding required to support any sort of deep space habitation.
I’d love to see some or all of it returned to be displayed in a museum, but it would probably be more expensive to do that than it was to build it in the first place. The vehicles to return it in whole or in pieces simply don’t exist right now, and on-orbit disassembly would be incredibly difficult and dangerous for astronauts to carry out.
I mean, my idea was that it would be effectively mothballed until we have the technology to restore it or something, so the shielding doesn't really matter. But yeah, the delta-v would probably destroy it. I kinda doubt it could handle it.
I just found out that the ISS is protected from some cosmic rays by the Earth's magnetosphere! Hurrah for only getting 90 chest x-rays worth during your stay there, instead of say, 100! Small victories.
