Hm. I don't see anything particularly exceptionable in pg_class page 11
--- rather a lot of dead tuples, but that's not proof of corruption.
To judge by your SELECT results, there are *no* live tuples in pg_class
between pages 11 and 543, and a bad page header in page 543. What do
you see if you ask pg_filedump to dump all that page range? (It'd be
a bit much to send to the list, but you can send it to me off-list.)
