Frequently I find myself logging a note for something that occurred in
the past either because I wasn't at my computer or just not paying
attention at the time. C-u C-c C-z doesn't change anything. I tried
looking at the source code for the logging functions but nothing jumped
out. Does this option already exist somewhere I've missed?

Not that I can see: the timestamp is obtained by calling
org-current-effective-time which doesn't have any facilities
for interactive time entering. There are two variables that
influence it:
o org-use-last-clock-out-time
o org-use-effective-time
If you use clocking, you might want to investigate the first one. The
second one makes the function obey your org-extend-today-until
preference (good for night-owls, but perhaps not much else). Both of
them are all-or-nothing.
AFAICT, neither of them will do what you want (at least not all the
time).
But you can manually modify time stamps quickly after the fact:
(info "(org) Creating timestamps")
In particular, S-<up>/S-<down> on any particular field of the date
will modify that entry. I generally find that easy enough to do
in the rare occasions when I need to modify a timestamp, but ymmv.
