Thanks the REINDEX fixed it, it's a client of ours and we're pushing to
get them to move to 9.5

Anyone have any thoughts on correcting/debugging it?

Evidently the LSN in this block is wrong. If it's an index, your idea of
REINDEX is probably the best solution. If it's a heap block, you could
probably make the problem go away by performing an update that changes any
tuple in this block. It doesn't even need to be a committed update; that
is, you could update or delete any row in that block, then roll back the
transaction, and it'd still be fixed.
Try to avoid shutting down the DB until you've fixed the problem,
else you're looking at replay from whenever the last successful
checkpoint was :-(
Maybe I need to run a REINDEX on whatever table equates to
"base/1029860192/1029863651"? If so how do I determine the db and table
for "base/1029860192/1029863651"?
1029860192 is the OID of the database's pg_database row.
1029863651 is the relfilenode in the relation's pg_class row.
