Yes you can still spend it, the value of most 1935 and 1957 $1 silver certificates has only risen to about $1.25. However others may be worth more than face value so spending one may or may not make sense.
The government never withdrew or demonetized silver certificates after printing was discontinued in the early 1960s. They simply stopped redeeming them for silver bullion so they became "non-convertible", the same as the Federal Reserve Notes and US Notes that were also in circulation at the same time.
For several years silver certificates continued to circulate interchangeably with those other types of bills and were gradually removed from circulation as they wore out. The same thing happened with US Notes when they were discontinued at the end of the 1960s.
