Compoent video cables themselves aren't made of gold, but they can be gold plated. Gold plated connectors allow for better conductivity. The cables are typically made of oxygen free copper.
The connectors aren't gold - they're gold plated, and microscopically so. If you could melt all the gold off of the connectors in a standard set of Monster Cables, by weight, it would be worth about a buck - buck and a half. If that. When I say the amount of gold is microscopic, I mean it's microscopic.
Some electronics have gold plated connectors, made of "real gold" to increase conduction and reduce corrosion. However, the plating is very thin.
It won't do anything--gold doesn't oxidize like copper and silver do. This is why really high-end electronics use gold-plated connectors.
