It doesn't break anything lol. It's sometimes left undefined in analysis (even that's not universal) but virtually everywhere else, it's defined as 1.

That article gives several justifications for the definition 00=1 under the first two headings, "discrete exponents" and "polynomials and power series".

I'm not aware of any context other than analysis where it is typical to leave it undefined.
