Looks like a typo for the second syllable pinyin. The standalone character is typically pronounced shei2 or shui2, and I can't find any other character pronounced sei, nor does "sei" appear to be a valid pinyin syllable (regardless of tone).

If it's purely a typo, then most likely to be "shei" but baidu has it as "shui", so I guess that's most likely.

Editor: It's not a typo. Your own reference says
没谁(发音séi)了,东北、天津、内蒙以及河南说的较多

"没谁了" is often written as "沒sei了".

"sei" is listed in Wikipedia's pinyin table:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinyin_table

[sei1] is also given as one of the readings of 塞 in Wiktionary:
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E5%A1%9E

... and in Y. R. Chao's "Concise Dictionary of Spoken Chinese".

"Syllables like yai, piu, duang, fai, sei, and hi are actually all used in real life."
