In this sentence, 'mówiło' is used as a neutral impersonal form to convey that a topic was discussed or mentioned generally, without specifying who was the speaker.
Dziecko mówiło śmieszne rzeczy podczas zabawy.
The child was saying funny things during the play.
Here, 'mówiło' is used to indicate that the subject (the child) repeatedly said things in the past, emphasizing direct speech or behaviour.
Przez cały dzień mówiło, że będzie padać.
During the whole day, it was said that it would rain.
In this example, 'mówiło' is again used impersonally to suggest that the notion or statement was being repeated in general discourse or consensus.
