سِنِينَ years
This is the counted noun after 'seven', and by the rule for 3 to 10 it is a PLURAL in the genitive — 'seven YEARS'. That plural-genitive shape contrasts with the singular forms used after the larger numbers (the 'forty days' earlier).

سَنَةً years
An indefinite noun 'year', given in the singular because Arabic numerals from eleven up take a singular counted noun - the count is carried by the number, not by pluralizing the noun. It sits in the accusative form that such counted nouns take. So 'fifty year' in form means 'fifty years' in sense.
