Scientific linux is based off Redhat enterprise. Fedora is generally newer and more cutting edge. New libraries get tested in Fedora and then make their way to RHEL/SL. In your case, your glibc is too old for the binaries you are using. And we don't have SL/RHEL binaries as far as I know. Your easiest recourse is to compile Sage from source. It is easy and fun, give it a try!
