Does this experience mean anything helpful towards grad school?

I think that it may be helpful. Remember that university research labs (and the world in general) need many people who are willing to do the “grunt” jobs. You also will get some experience regarding how work gets done in labs. Also, doing this for multiple years makes the point that you are willing to stick with tasks even when they are not glamorous. Much of the work to complete your PhD thesis (if you get that far) will not be glamorous either.
