Why is the RESET pin set up like this in this Z80 schematic?
The Reset pin is Active low, so has to be pulled low to reset the processor.

The capacitor connected to the reset pin is also connected to Gnd (the schematic uses a wrong symbol), and along with the pullup resistor forms an RC network that holds the processor in reset for a time after VCC first rises. 

You will often see Reset circuits such as this:

The RC values are defined to hold the processor in reset long enough to let the supply stabilize. It can also provide a physical reset button to reset/restart the processor.
