The first $5 bills with blue seals were printed in the 1899 series.

These bills happened to be silver certificates but at that time seal colors weren't standardized; blue-seal $5 bills were also issued as National Currency notes, Federal Reserve Notes, and Federal Reserve Bank Notes. The Treasury didn't adopt uniform seal colors until the 1928 series at which time blue became the standard for silver certificates.

What is the difference between blue and silver sealed dollar bills?

The US has never printed bills with silver-colored seals. Bills called silver certificates were issued with blue seals, which may be what you're thinking of. Silver certificates were backed 1-for-1 with a dollar's worth of silver in the US Treasury. They were eliminated in the 1960s when the price of silver rose and it was no longer possible to back the bills with a fixed amount of metal.
