Yes. It has elastic potential energy.
The elastic potential energy gained by the rubber band is the work done by you in elongating it. Positive work is done on the rubber band, so it gains energy. While work is done by you (i.e. negative work is done on you), so you lose some energy. The total energy is conserved. In simple words, the energy gained by the rubber band is the energy lost by you while elongating it.
You can give a rubber band potential energy by stretching it. When you stretch a rubber band, you are doing work on it, which causes the rubber band to store potential energy in the form of strain energy. This potential energy is released when the rubber band is allowed to return to its original shape.
Potential energy is stored in a stretched rubber band. This potential energy is a result of the elastic potential energy stored in the rubber band due to its stretched state.
When you wind a rubber band on a toy airplane, the rubber band stores potential energy. This potential energy is in the form of elastic potential energy, which is released when the rubber band unwinds and powers the toy airplane.
When a rubber band is being stretched, it contains potential energy. This potential energy is due to the elastic potential energy stored in the rubber band, which is ready to be converted into kinetic energy when the rubber band is released and allowed to snap back.

It has potential to do work. Looking at it another way, it requires energy to stretch the rubber band; this energy can be recovered - for example, by pulling something - when the rubber band gets back to its normal position.
A stretched rubber band is potential energy because the energy is stored.
A stretched rubber band has potential energy like a spring. It has the potential to snap back. I used to build model airplanes with rubber band motors. I also had a rubber band gun that shot rubber bands. The potential energy stored in the rubber bank is what made these devices work.
When a rubber band is stretched, it possesses potential energy. This potential energy is stored in the rubber band due to its stretched position, and it can be released when the rubber band is allowed to return to its original, unstretched state.
Astretched rubber band has potential energy.
When a rubber band is stretched, it stores potential energy in its molecular bonds. This potential energy is transferred to kinetic energy when the rubber band is released, causing it to snap back to its original, unstretched state.
