Molly Weasley absolutely belongs in the Slug Club. Her considerable power, which she showed during her duel with Bellatrix, reveals her as a force to be reckoned with in much the same way as her daughter. She would have had plenty of time at Hogwarts to make her talent known through her grades and her spellwork alike, which Slughorn, being a teacher, would surely have noticed. There may even have been a situation similar to the one in which Ginny Weasley joined the Slug Club, with Molly hexing someone and Slughorn praising her spellwork rather than chiding her for her temper. With good grades and her powerful magic, she would have been a prime candidate for the Slug Club.
That said, whether she would have joined is anyone's guess. One of the most fascinating things about Molly to me is that she is obviously a talented and accomplished witch who chose to use her skills of magic for maintaining her family. Perhaps she would have seen Slughorn's invitation as a compliment and accepted; perhaps she would have regarded it with disgust for excluding those who weren't neck-deep in good fortune. The clear thing, however, is that Molly would have belonged should she have chosen to.
