This happens due to a broken LSN field on the page header. Now seems that
number is quite insane, which is much much bigger than the actual current of
WAL. If there is a lot of different complains like this (compare the
7407C864 field), then there are a lot of broken pages :-(

Are you sure you are using 7.2.1? Now PG don't support version older than
7.3 officially. So the best way is upgrade to a newer vesion like 7.4. You
can dump your data before that.
