The problem with printing plates for federal currency is its quite possible that its illegal to own, therefore it makes having a big auction for it rather difficult as the secret service would show up and the party would be over :)
But I'd imagine the value for it if it was genuine would be incredibly high. After all, the notes themselves sell for well over $1000 even in worn condition so I'd imagine a printing plate would be worth even more, but before you decide to sell it, I'd make sure that you can legally own it so you don't end up with it being taken away from you by the secret service.
Due to the dubious legality of collecting federal currency printing plates there's really no auction records to show how much they'd be worth but it is certainly valuable.

What does A 1952 mean on a 1934 C US 5 dollar silver certificate?
It's a plate index number. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing puts small numbers and letters on all bills to indicate where the bill was located in the large plate that prints multiple bills at a time, which plate in a set was used, and (since 1991) which printing facility produced the bill.

Why does a 1934 US 5 dollar silver certificate have the date 1849 on the back of the bill?
It looks like a date but it's actually a serial number for the printing plate that was used to produce that particular bill. All bills have them. Due to changes in the printing process plate serial numbers on modern bills are usually no more than two digits.

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.
