Help | About SeaMonkey will tell you. In my case, it says:

version 2.46 ...


Good thing automatic updates are broken at this time.

Doing a Help > About SeaMonkey would have updated the 2.46 to
version 2.49.1 if updates were working.


No, Help > About SeaMonkey does not authorize an update. It only reports

Apologies, I was thinking Firefox and Thunderbird.

SeaMonkey has a "Check for updates" under Help in the Menu bar.

Troubleshooting Information will give much more information and I still 
recommend using Help > Troubleshooting Information or type about:support 
in the Address bar.

Or even Help->About SeaMonkey and look at the User Agent string.

The relevant settings for automatic updating are at
Edit | Preferences | Advanced | Software Installation:

...
SeaMonkey
[x] Automatically check for updates ( ) daily (•) weekly
[ ] Automatically download and install the update

If the user has not checked the second box, updates are installed only 
when the user chooses Help | Check for Updates and approves an offer. In 
this scenario, SM will notify the user that an update is available, but 
will not install it until the user grants permission. That's my setting, 
and that's what I recommend. YMMV.


There's also an option when an update notice is received to say 
essentially, "yes, go ahead," but the user can also dismiss the notice 
without authorizing the update. In the old days when the automatic check 
worked, I routinely did that because the notice usually arrived at an 
inconvenient time. Knowing that an update was available, I would return 
later when it was convenient through Help | Check for Updates and 
approve the offer.


Nowadays, of course, the update check is broken, so no notice is given, 
and the only way to install an update is to retrieve it manually from 
the SeaMonkey website and install it manually. There's no way to get an 
update against your will unless someone else has access to your computer 
and does so manually.

You are currently on the release update channel.
See a list of contributors to the Mozilla Project.
Read the licensing information for this product.
Read the release notes for this version.
See the build configuration used for this version.
User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 
Firefox/49.0 SeaMonkey/2.46

Build identifier: 20161213183751

The "User agent" part can also be found if you reveal the code of any 
recent outgoing message (CTRL-U). Yours says:


User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/49.0 SeaMonkey/2.46

So unless you're writing from a different computer from the problem 
computer, you can't "revert" to 2.48, which is a later version than what 
you have.
