Jakku was a year after Endor and the last major battle of the war. Some Imperial ships were scuttled to prevent capture, but a lot of others were just shot out of the sky.
Following this and the treaty, the Empire was at least partially disarmed (likely to help pay reparations). With only some of the fleet heading out to the Unknown Regions to become the First Order. The last functional Super Star Destroyer in Imperial service was destroyed at Jakku. We see its remains up close and personal as Rey flying thought it to get rid of that last TIE fighter.

The crashed ship (the Inflictor) wasn't a Super Star Destroyer. It was only a "regular" one.
Star Wars: Battlefront shows it crashing in the distance and it it is indeed a SSD, it comes down on it's starboard side and flops.
There are a lot of regular Star Destroyers that look like they came in at a shallow angle and crashed.
The game depicts Star Destroyers and Rebellion ships only a few hundred feet up battling inside atmospheres, Jakku is one of the few that had so many being downed creating the "Graveyard of Giants".

The Umbarans seemed to have true antigravity with their craft--repulsor lift for nap-of-the-earth. I liked it when large ships could't hover--that made the Victory a big deal to enter an atmosphere--like the NuBSG.
Then we got hovering wedges in the prequels.
No, the Inflictor is NOT a Super Star Destroyer. It's a "regular" destroyer, of the Imperial-class. You can tell because of the conning tower, which SSD's don't have.
The Inflictor is a Imperial Star Destroyer. That is the one we see Rey salvaging parts from at our first meeting.
The Super Star Destroyer is the Ravager. It is seen later, upside-down, as they try to lose the last TIE Fighter by diving inside it.
More than one Star Destroyer crashed that day. We saw multiple wrecks.

Oh. I didn't know there was more than one crashed destroyer. The only one I remember was the Inflictor. 
Pretty much this. The one thing I can conclude from Star Wars is that space has it's own atmosphere. That is the only way to explain the sound in space, explosions in space, and ships that bank instead of rotating on their axis without changing their vectors.
If any ship that isn't designed to land (which surely applies to ships as massive as Star Destroyers), actually has landed, it's probably safe to assume it crashed.
And the battle happend approximately 30 years ago, perhaps there were big sandstorms who covered up the crater?
"Landing." The space shuttle used to do it quite regularly, as did Luke's X-Wing and the Millenium Falcon.
Bit of a moot point now, but the SSD's do indeed have the conning tower, it's just proportionally much smaller compared to the rest of the ship. Observe.
