It looks like sludge but it's hard - is it fuel tank construction sealer or something? I was considering POR-15'ing my tank but it seems pretty clean inside aside from this unknown material.

I had that in my tank. It was from the tank sitting with ethanol fuel in it. It turns to gum over time as it absorbs moisture from the air. I was able to wash it out though.
