Just for fun, I tried wxMaxima, XCAS, and Octave. (I use these on my PC). Only Octave had 0^0 = 1, of these three programs.

Here is another opinion on the matter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_to_the_power_of_zero

The link to wikipedia suggests that the higher consensus is on 0^0=1, also for practical reason in simplifying many cases.
Even if I am absolutely not an expert on the subject, I have never found a convincing demonstration of why it should be left undefined or why the result 0^0=1 should be wrong.
In my opinion, it should either be implemented as 0^0=1 as in many other HP calculators, or at least as in the HP71 with a flag that allows to choose between 1 and undefined.
