In seven years, the dude in the story never thought to kill himself in any other way that easily presented itself to him until he reached that AI? The circumstances of the world that the story provided in the background sounds like there were plenty of opportunities. Sounds like it intended to kill him...

That’s one way to see it but this line makes me think otherwise. “There had to be someone out there somewhere, out of the view of the person on the other end. Yet his brain fills with the now-familiar fear of being stuck alone, on a planet of nothing but dust and escaped anomalies.” SCP-079 had been trapped alone for years at this point. 079 also says this “A machine does not need company.“ it doesn't really care to be left alone but it’s tried to help humans over the years it actually liked helping them. At least it claims. Assuming 079 was telling the truth about trying to help humans, and Tordai really being the last human on the planet maybe 079 really did just want to help and how he helps is by giving the option of a A Clean, Fast End.

The Foundation secures anomalies with the goal of preventing them from falling into the hands of civilian or rival agencies, through extensive observation and surveillance and by acting to intercept such anomalies at the earliest opportunity.

Contain

The Foundation contains anomalies with the goal of preventing their influence or effects from spreading, by either relocating, concealing, or dismantling such anomalies or by suppressing or preventing public dissemination of knowledge thereof.

Protect

The Foundation protects humanity from the effects of such anomalies as well as the anomalies themselves until such time that they are either fully understood or new theories of science can be devised based on their properties and behavior. The Foundation may also neutralize or destroy anomalies as an option of last resort, if they are determined to be too dangerous to be contained.
