That's not a HEAP page; it looks more like a btree page: lp_len is too
short for heap (which starts at lp_len = 24), and there are too many
line pointers for an 8KiB heap page. btree often has lp_len of 16: 8
bytes indextuple header, one maxalign of data (e.g. int or bigint).
So, assuming it's a block of a different relation kind, then it's also
likely it was originally located elsewhere in that other relation,
indeed causing the checksum failure. You can further validate this by
looking at the page header's pd_special value - if it is 8176, that'd
be another indicator for it being a btree.
Kind regards,
Matthias van de Meent.
