Were it a 4017, it could have been useful. However, it is a 145017, which is really mostly useful as a main component of a smoke detector.
I hope you didn't throw the rest of the smoke detector away. You really shouldn't take those things apart. They need to be disposed of properly. In the county where I live, the fire department accepts old/broken smoke detectors so that they will be properly recycled/disposed of.
Smoke detectors contain radioactive material. If the innards are disturbed, it can cause a health hazard. That is why you should not throw it in the trash.

Check with your fire department on what to do with it since you have taken it apart. Normally, they should be returned to the manufacturer or other recycler, but since you've opened it up, it may now be classified as too hazardous to ship. That's why I suggest you contact the fire department.
