This is actually not an error in the 7.3 docs (which we clearly wouldn't
address) but an error in pgweb in the warning for unsupported versions; it
assumes it can link to the same page in /current.  The relevant code is:

      This documentation is for an unsupported version of PostgreSQL.<br/>
      You may want to view the same page for the
      <a href="/docs/current/{{page.file}}" title="PostgreSQL {{page.version.display_version}} -
{{page.title}}">current</a>

This may well hit us in just-out-of-support versions which are still in use,
but until there is a report from a more recent version than 7.3 there isn't
much cause for concern I reckon.
