Probably wouldn't be worth it. I couldn't find anyone that reported the hashrate of that exact card but the closest i could find was a 4570M which should be significantly faster. That 4570 would only be able to mine about .00048 bitcoins a day worth $0.05 at the current rate or .0208 litecoins a day worth $0.07.

That GPU is far too weak, I would say it definitely isn't worth it.

Also remember when you're using a laptop for mining: it's difficult to dissipate all that heat, and too much heat can kill components.  I am pretty sure that heat is the reason my wife's hard drive in her laptop died at only 1 year old (wasn't mining, but I used it to game before I built my desktop and it got so hot I couldn't keep my hand on the keyboard, gpu sits right next to the hdd as well)

Never mine with laptops because they can't dissipate the heat and it will burn out.

Nope, not BTC.  You may be able to mine some alt coins with it and trade up.
