Well, it's really difficult to tell without being able to dig in deeper,
but it looks like either your filesystem is bigger than your device  or
you are having some other kind of problem reading from the physical
disk.  Perhaps it's time to consider that drive dead and replace it.

Once you do replace it (with a device big enough to hold the data), you
could "image copy" (i.e. dd) the contents from the old device to the new
one and then restart your e2fsck operation on that new device.
