Description

Pandas version checks

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
• I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.
• I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

to_datetime(['19801212.0'], format='%Y%m%d', exact=True)

Issue Description

This should fail, there's no interpretation of format in which 19801212.0 matches %Y%m%d

Expected Behavior

Probably something like

ValueError: unconverted data remains: .0

but certainly not that it passes without an error
