Doesn't look like anything in the part manual diagram. Maybe it was for attaching one of those grounding straps that dragged on the ground/road to discharge those nasty electrical charges that zap you when you touch the car in low-humidity conditions. They were a big thing years ago.

looks like a stock grounding strap.

They connect the exhaust to the chassis so the O2 sensor and stuff work better/accurately.

It is a ground wire for the exhaust and should be replaced and re-attached to the exhaust pipe.

Japanese grounds are already weak from the factory... cutting one off because it is dangling would not be the smartest advice.
