Sometimes the car idles at 500 most of the time, sometimes it idles at 600 and sometime 800. These idles were observed when the car was normal temperature throughout all 3 different rpm numbers. Is there anything wrong with my engine?

Idle will move a little bit - but not that wide of valves. What have you done to the car, maintenance wise, so far? Could be nearly anything - from clogged injectors, to a leaky intake/exhaust, vacuum leaks, gummed up TB, fouled plugs, bad plug wires, sticking throttle cable, etc.

I have seafoamed the car? but the car suns smoother after i seafoamed it and it was still idling low before seafoaming it

Did you pull the plugs after you seafoamed it? Seafoam treatment tends to foul the plugs easily - if the plugs are messed up, the car will idle erratically. How about the other stuff under the hood - what other maintenance have you done so far?
