A couple questions:
1) Do you know what 430666206 refers to? Something like SELECT
oid::regclass, relkind FROM pg_class WHERE pg_relation_filenode(430666206) in the
correct database should answer.

2) Any chance you have zero_damaged_pages enabled?

3) Does the issue still occur? Is there any chance of manual
investigation before restaring the database?
