I do not have  enough of an understanding of LaTeX to explain this, but it 
seems \uncover can be tricky.

This works for me:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{Sweave}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
   In the year \uncover<2->{25}\uncover<3->{\Sexpr{5*5}}
\begin{uncoverenv}<4->
<<echo=TRUE, print=TRUE>>=
5*5*101
@ %def
\end{uncoverenv}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
