On a DB doing no/little work I always see two records returned. One has a
value in the 'database' column. How can I find what database it is?

Looking for it in pg_database did not yield any databases with a matching
number. The number in the 'database' column did not match any number of the
columns in pg_database.

The two records I always see are:
   locktype    |....|      mode       | granted
---------------+....+-----------------+---------
 transactionid |....| ExclusiveLock   | t
 relation      |....| AccessShareLock | t
