Thanks, Thom.
I understand from your response that there is really no way to repair the current damage.
Yes, we do take daily backups and we have, in fact, restored the database cluster to a point in time before the corruption, suffering some loss of data in the process. I'm now working with the snapshot of the corrupted database (on a different box) to see if there is something that can be done to repair the damage and avoid such a scenario in future. Yes, and I know that upgrading the Postgres version is the stock answer for situations like this. The upgrade is in the works.
But I was still interested in what the postgres gurus/programmers/hackers had to say about this event.
Regards.
Alanoly.

Perhaps, but you should hire an expert if the data are important for you.
Also, while it's too late now, this could be the result of a bug in the version you are using that was subsequently repaired in 10.15:
Prevent possible data loss from concurrent truncations of SLRU logs (Noah Misch)
This rare problem would manifest in later “apparent wraparound” or “could not access status of transaction” errors.
This is why it's important to keep up-to-date, but even the latest minor 10.x release is out of date as support was dropped back in 2022.
If you manage to get this up and running again, I strongly recommend upgrading to the latest major and minor release (16.3 at the time of writing).
Before you try doing anything though, create a physical backup of your database as situations like this tend to require invasive action that could potentially make the situation even worse.
Also, did this problem only happen in the last day or two? How frequently do you take backups? If you have a backup from just before this issue starting showing itself, and you can afford losing data changes that have occured since the backup, you may find it far easier and quicker to resort to using that backup. Of course, you would need to prove to yourself that the backup was safe by running a VACUUM FREEZE on each database in that backup before starting to use it. If that runs without issue, you're probably in the clear.
Best of luck.
