and not ext4 - so you need to unlock it via mumblemumbleLuksStuffmumblemumble
before you can operate on it with e2fsprogs tools.

# cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb1 <name>... or something.  Sorry, I'm not a LUKS
expert...

Anyway, not an ext4 problem.  Your superblock isn't corrupted, it's encrypted.  :)
