I assume you don't see that OID in "select oid,nspname from pg_namespace"?
Look through the system catalogs to find the object(s) that claim to be
in that namespace, and then tell us what they are and their history.
select * from pg_type where typnamespace = 16396
and likewise for pg_class.relnamespace, pg_operator.oprnamespace,
pg_conversion.connamespace, pg_opclass.opcnamespace,
pg_aggregate.aggnamespace, pg_proc.pronamespace.
