Something is scribbling on / has scribbled on the front of your filesystem, it
seems.

hexdumping the first 2 blocks you sent:

superblock starts at 0x400; so here we are at offset 0x180 to 0x310 in the sb.

There's a lot of "-1" (0xff) in there with a few other values.  This translates
into the "4294967295" values you see above.

The various error tracking bits are in this part of the superblock so you're
seeing the -1/4294967295 pop out in the error reporting code:

     __le32    s_error_count;        /* number of fs errors */
     __le32    s_first_error_time;    /* first time an error happened */
     __le32    s_first_error_ino;    /* inode involved in first error */
/*1a0*/    __le64    s_first_error_block;    /* block involved of first error
*/
/*1a8*/    __u8    s_first_error_func[32];    /* function where the error
happened */
/*1c8*/    __le32    s_first_error_line;    /* line number where error happened
*/
     __le32    s_last_error_time;    /* most recent time of an error */
/*1d0*/    __le32    s_last_error_ino;    /* inode involved in last error */
     __le32    s_last_error_line;    /* line number where error happened */
     __le64    s_last_error_block;    /* block involved of last error */
/*1e0*/    __u8    s_last_error_func[32];    /* function where the error
happened */

Your dd above should have zeroed this out, though, which makes me wonder how
you got 1's back in here.  It could be anything, though I wonder if it's
possible that it's a stray bitmap....

What kind of storage is this?
