Oh ... up through v13, amcheck lacks any functions to check heaps,
only indexes, so I guess it won't help you much. You could try
reindexing, but if pg_dump is failing that's a good sign you have
heap corruption not (or at least not only) index corruption.
Another idea is to try using contrib/pageinspect to examine each
page of the table. Its output is just gobbledegook to most people,
but there's a good chance it'd fail visibly on the corrupted page(s).
Also, please read

if you didn't already.
