Did NASA ever do anything productive with GoreSat? Or is just sitting in storage at the cost ~$1M/month?

Have no clue, but you might try hunting around on the mega-unfriendly NASA site.

There are many links which are not on NASA but on the JPL site and others. It is very confusing and like I said user unfriendly even to links that do not work or work only if you have specialized software or links that have the same name but go to different places. There are also many images and bits of data which used to be there but have been removed. Why? No Clue.

And we’ve paid millions for those crappy sites.

The Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR; formerly known as Triana, unofficially known as GoreSat) was launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on 15 February 2015. It is currently in orbit around the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point L₁, and is fully functional.
