Please do SeaDAS-Toolbox -> Software & System Info and share the result here.

SeaDAS does not provide a reader for L3b files. You can use l3mapgen to create L3m files from L3b, which SeaDAS can read -- https://seadas.gsfc.nasa.gov/help-8.4.0/processors/ProcessL3mapgen.html

See this post too -- viewtopic.php?p=12218&hilit=l3b#p12218

You should be able to find Landsat 8 Level 1 files on this site -- https://earthexplorer.usgs.gov/

I noticed that you are still using SeaDAS 7.5.3. Maybe you could try 8.4.1, which has almost all the features of 7.5.3, plus a lot more?
