Yes, it is an exception:
On the other hand, you're right about lo'laH "be valuable."
It is a simple verb in its own right (though it's an
unusual two-syllable one), not the verb lo' "use" plus Type
5 suffix -laH "can." It is likely that there is some sort
of historical connection to the verb + suffix form, but, if
so, it is just that -- historical.

Maybe {lo'laH} was related with the "use-value" of a commodity:
{lo'laHlu'} 'someone can use it' therefore 'it is useful' =E2=86=92 {l=
o'laH}
"it is valuable", and maybe, after some time, it started to be used for any
other form of value, maybe something like: {lo'laH DuDuQlaHbogh Hew} 'a
statue which can emotionally touch you is valuable'
