What does the star in front of the serial number mean on a Silver Certificate?

A star in front of or after the serial number on any US bill (not just a silver certificate) means it was printed to replace a bill that was damaged during production.
The damaged bills cause a break in the serial number sequence of their print run. Because bills are printed in large groups it would be very difficult to re-use missing serial numbers; each bill would have to be reprinted individually. Instead, the replacement notes have their own set of serial numbers with a star instead of one of the letters to indicate that their status.

What do the numbers on the right hand corner in the back of a US 5 dollar silver certificate mean?
The number is called a plate serial number. All bills have them, not just silver certificates. Bills are printed in groups using large printing plates and sheets of paper that are then cut apart into individual notes. The serial number indicates which plate was used to print a specific set of bills. The front of each bill also includes a plate position indicator that tells where it was located in the group.
How can you tell if a bill is a silver certificate?
Bills printed from 1928 till 1957 (the last series year) will have the words Silver Certificate printed across the top of the bill's front. In most but not all cases, the seal and serial numbers will be printed in blue ink. Some special WWII bills may have brown or yellow seals. Older (pre-1928) bills may be more difficult to identify. Some will say Silver Certificate, but others may use words such as "5 silver dollars" or "one dollar in silver coins", etc.
