it says in the reminder text "exile all spells and abilities on the stack including this card" so it exiles

To be fair, it IS in the italic "reminder" text to do that.
I guess now more than ever before, spells have to be worded a certain way to avoid them being broken. I suspect R&D went through several versions before they got wording that worked best...

Well yeah, because I wondered that if it hits the battlefield, it is no longer on the stack, thus not exiling itsself. But it's written very small in italic that it exiles itsself.
This is not logical at all and a good example for bad wording.

Actually, it's perfectly fine wording.
The rules for handling end-the-turn effects explicitly state that objects on the stack are exiled as part of the process. It doesn't need to be repeated on the card outside of reminder text.
Spells and abilities are also not removed from the stack until the final step in the resolution process. Because Day's Undoing is still resolving at the time the turn is ended, it wi still be on the stack and will be exiled.
Further, instant and sorcery spells never hit the battlefield. Ever. They can't exist on the battlefield, and any effect that might cause one to enter the battlefield instead doesn't.

It would be the only card in your graveyard after resolving.
