The idea that concrete blocks can change the pH in a pond is a
very old myth. It was once an extremely popular myth. Less so these days. You can use the block without concern for pH, lime, etc. There is no reason to use old blocks, seal them, or anything else.
There is a chemical process concrete experiences that is kind of like rust, but with CO2 instead of O2, that seals concrete. This CO2 reaction happens with exposure to air or water. It takes an acid to remove that "rust".
So the exception would be if you were trying to force your pond to a very low pH for some reason, like 5, or 6 pH. At those levels the concrete might have a tiny effect, depending how much was used compared to water volume. But if you were keeping a pond at those pH levels you would already have a good understand of all this, so I assume this isn't the case.
