With the topic of discussion, unfortunately no. Silver Age Superman is not in continuity. Nor has he been since following "Crisis on Infinite Earths" back in 1985. Which effectively ended the Pre-Crisis universe that the Earth-1 Silver Age Superman resided in.
During COIE, the Post-Crisis universe was created with a singular earth named New Earth. A present-day reality where the various elements of the five Earths, and it's heroes, that were not destroyed by the Anti-Monitor were fused into one single Earth, with no one except the people present at the battle at the dawn of time remembering the original reality. To which started the Post-Crisis continuity with the Post-Crisis Superman.
The Post-Crisis continuity was shaken up a bit in 2005 with Infinite Crisis, but continued on. What Infinite Crisis effectively did was fusing Pre-Crisis and Post-Crisis continuity together. Establishing that all that Pre-Crisis Earth-1, Earth-Two stuff that had long been ignored by DC since the start of the Post-Crisis continuity, actually DID happen as character's recalled events that transpired during the Pre-Crisis continuity along with the return of Golden Age Superman from Earth-Two, and Superboy-Prime.
Much of the Post-Crisis continuity was still the PRIME continuity, but Infinite Crisis made it so that the Pre-Crisis continuity did indeed transpire in some form. Some refer to it as the Post-Infinite Crisis continuity.
Even though Golden Age Earth-Two Superman returned, Silver Age Earth-1 Superman did not. Nor did his cousin Supergirl, who died during COIE. The Post-Crisis universe had introduced a Post-Crisis Supergirl, and DC chose to stick with her just as they stuck with the Post-Crisis Superman.
2011's Flashpoint brought an end to the Post-Crisis/Post-Infinite Crisis Superman mythology. Since Sept 2011, we now have the New 52 Superman that has no ties to Pre-Crisis, Post-Crisis, or Post-Infinite Crisis continuity.
