A supercharger or any other performance modification will increase the stress on the engine components of any engine. It isn't a good idea to make such a drastic change to an engine and leave all the rest of the components unchanged. The first (or fifth or sixtieth) time you floor it from a light, you may snap a rod or break a piston. Think this through and it will make sense.

If you don't care about how long you car's engine will last, bolt on a supercharger and go for it. But consider that you might spend some money (approximately the same money) getting the heads redone, snagging a new cam, and then adding on some electronic ignition and some appropriate carburetion for increased performance. They won't do what the blower will do, but you'll run a lot lower risk of scattering internal engine parts down the street when you come off the line as you would with something like, say, a GMC 6-71 on top of the intake.

There is no button for the supercharger. The supercharger is always on because it is being driven by the belts of the engine. When you step on the gas, there is a vacuum line that is hooked up to the supercharger in which will close a little valve causing the boost to be diverted into the engine.
