As far as mold, one rain isn't gonna ruin the hay, especially if you've got it laid out. It'll dry off better if you can get a breeze over it, but I wouldn't worry too much over it.
If you're worried about stacking it wet, and it gettin' hot and catchin' fire, that has more to do with the moisture in the hay itself, not the rain that got on it, i.e. it has do do with the heat from decomposition that happens after the hay is cut. If it was simply mowed and adequately dried before baling, it should be alright. If it was taken down with a moco, all the better, the crimping helps to dry it.
Were it mine, I'd drive a hand down into a few bales and put it up as soon as the wet side that you've got up feels about the same for moisture as the bottom and not worry about it.
