Your database is corrupted.  Any idea how that happened?  As with
any database corruption, I recommend you stop the server and make a
copy of the whole data directory and everything under it before any
recovery attempts.

You could zero in on the damage by selecting specific columns, and
ranges of rows.

A little more detail would be helpful.  For ideas, read this:
