It appears you have at least one corrupt block. Where there's one, there's often more.

I think i'd do a reindex all. and Imight even do a pg_dumpall, re-initdb, and restore said dumpall to be safeest. to be really safe, stop pg, and take a file system backup first, incase more serious problems show up during the reindex or dump process

I would add a basic check of the system hardware to that list. In particular, I'm always suspicious of memory errors when seeing strange PANIC messages. A quick check for SMART errors on the hard drives would be in order too.
