I would clean it.
looks really nasty even though it's harmless to the turtle.
But it's up to you.

If your able to depending on how old that tank is you could strip out all of the old sealent and redo it. This way you can ensure clean seals and know they wont breal / leak for a while like an old seal might. But ya, it looks like algae and if it is it's harmless you your turtle. Nikos has some on the back of his / her shell and is fine.

Just do it gently, no need to mess up the silicone
