I have isolated the corrupted row of data and isolated column which constains bad data. Unfortunately I can't do anything with the row. I have an older backup of the db which contains correct row. Is there a way I can restore only the given row or replace it in the file ( I also located the row on the page).

After taking a file system level backup as suggested by Craig, first try updating to the latest point release of 8.2. There's literally years differences / bug fixes between 8.2.0 and 8.2.22 which was the last release. It might be that simply updating to 8.2.22 will fix your problems.
