Turning it closed and open once a year keeps it from seizing, though on a very old valve that first turn can start a weep at the packing nut. If it feels stuck, leave it and have it replaced rather than forcing it.

The house valve is yours, on your side of the meter, and it is the one to use in an emergency. The curb stop belongs to the utility's side and normally gets operated with a key rather than by hand.

It is worth having, since it lets you isolate one toilet or sink instead of shutting the whole house down. Old stops often will not close, which is why a leak at a supply line ends up affecting the entire property.

Cut power to it at the breaker or close the gas valve, then shut the cold supply into the tank and call. A tank leaking from the bottom is not something to keep in service while you decide.
