Because SilkRoad is running over the Tor network SSL is not necessary and there for is not running.  Tor hiddenservices already encapsulates your communication with SR with so many layers of encryption that using SSL is just redundant.

You should check out some clearnet domains, you will likely get very different results than you will cruising around TorLand.
