This is a metal box it should be grounded. When you attach the switch to the box it will be grounded in a code compliant way so no you don't have to tie the ground to the switch. I missed that one switch has the bare ground in use. This would be a code violation and dangerous to use the bare copper as part of a switch leg. It should have new wires pulled in that case.
