The out-of-universe explanation is obvious: English is not Arnold Schwarzenegger's first language.
But given James Cameron's reputation as a perfectionist I wonder if he ever gave an in-universe explanation for why an artificially intelligent machine would talk with an accent.
Is there an in-universe explanation for why the T-800 model talks with an accent?
Answer
It is explained in a deleted scene, although not all might agree on considering it canon, from Terminator 3 Trivia:
The "Sgt. Candy" scene, which was included in early prints of the film, explains why all the Terminators look like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold's character (Sgt. Candy) has a Southern US accent. When one of the scientists questions it, another scientist replies (in an Arnold voice over), "We can fix it." The actor portraying this scientist is Jack Noseworthy. This scene is available as a special feature on the DVD version.
