Replaced the battery as it was old. When I went to start it, there was smoke from the engine bay and a seized sound. What was seized? The engine wouldn't turn over. Smelled like rubber. Any ideas?

Unless you stored it with the plugs out, oil cap off, and hood up for rain and snow to get into the engine then I doubt the engine is seized up. More likely as mentioned one of the pulleys seized up, so take the accessory belts off and try to start the engine.
