Apparently you've got at least one corrupt page in at least one system
table. I'd recommend pg_dump'ing as much as you can and then recreate
the database.
If pg_dump doesn't work you could try turning on zero_damaged_pages,
and praying that most of what you need is on undamaged pages. It's
quite possible though that that will hose the DB completely, so don't do
it till you've exhausted the possibilities for pg_dump without it.
Consider updating to a more recent PG release while you are
recovering...
