Which maybe necessary when upgrading the database:

http://postgis.net/docs/manual-2.4/postgis_installation.html#upgrading

Which seems to be what is happening in your case, as before you 
reinstalled the extension you got(from OP):

select PostGIS_full_version();

                        postgis_full_version

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  POSTGIS="2.4.5 r16765" *PGSQL="94" (procs need upgrade for use with
"96") *GEOS="3.6.2-CAPI-1.10.2
4d2925d6" PROJ="Rel. 4.9.3, 15 August 2016" GDAL="GDAL 1.11.4, released
2016/01/25" LIBXML="2.9.1" LIBJSON="0.11" RASTER
