“I am used to taking photos, downloading from the SD onto my laptop, and printing enlargements (5x7, 8x10) of the good ones. Is this a good camera for that, or is it just a fun camera to use that's a little better than a phone?”

The Z50 has the same sensor as Nikon’s D500, their professional APS-C body. The image quality is superb, even with the kit lenses. It will easily handle the print sizes you reference in your question. The 20.9 megapixel sensor will not necessarily handle billboard sized images, but it is suitable for images all the way up to 16 x 20 without loss of quality. It is also known, used, and respected by pros for its excellent video quality. It’s ergonomics will be far better than a cell phone camera, though not as good as a pro body like the D500, the Z6, or D850. Your satisfaction with it will depend on what you are currently using. I side-graded from a D500 and miss the ergonomics of the D500, but I needed something smaller and lighter for travel. I am very happy with the experience so far. If you already own Nikon f mount lenses, you can purchase a FTZ adapter to use those lenses, which is useful if you have lenses you like.
