In SoD, and perhaps even Baldurs Gate EE, the damage to the wielder is 7, not 6. The damage to the target is also 7. So you cannot use this to create health out of nothing. You can still use it on a character with regeneration to transfer his/her health to another party member, but then you have to cast remove curse to get the item off him/her.

This is still a very useful sword in my opinion, because the only way to legally get regeneration on all your characters is to use the new +1CON Buckley's Bucker and the Manual of Bodily health in order to raise your character's constitution to 20, which allows you to slowly regenerate. Yes, I konw there is Kagain, who has a 20 constitution but he is evil aligned and I play good alignment.
