Predicate Adjective Does "happy" function as a predicate adjective in "He seems to be happy"?

*1. He seems happy.

2. He seems to be happy.*

  1. He seems happy.

  2. He seems to be happy.

In the first sentence, "happy" is the predicate adjective. What is going on in the second sentence? Does the infinitive with "happy" still function in the same manner, as a predicate adjective?

Thank you very much.
