Isn't that exactly what the CREATE FUNCTION reference page says?

        The SET clause causes the specified configuration parameter to
        be set to the specified value when the function is entered, and
        then restored to its prior value when the function exits. SET
        FROM CURRENT saves the session's current value of the parameter
        as the value to be applied when the function is entered.

        If a SET clause is attached to a function, then the effects of a
        SET LOCAL command executed inside the function for the same
        variable are restricted to the function: the configuration
        parameter's prior value is still restored at function
        exit. However, an ordinary SET command (without LOCAL) overrides
        the SET clause, much as it would do for a previous SET LOCAL
        command: the effects of such a command will persist after
        function exit, unless the current transaction is rolled back.
