A black hole in our solar system is basically "in our backyard" in relation to typical interstellar distances.

Sure, we wouldn't be able to get there for many decades, but "within a century" would be feasible.

There are so many unknowns surrounding the nature of black holes. Having one in our backyard would give us a chance to test our guesses.
