So, old hardware...

The magic number has a single bit error in it.
#define XFS_DINODE_MAGIC 0x494e /* 'IN' */
That's the in-memory inode, not the on-disk inode. It caught the
problem before writing the bad magic number to disk - the in-memory
disk buffer was checked immediately before the in-memory copy, and
it checked out OK...

What was the error that xfs_repair returned? There may have been
other things wrong with the inode that weren't caught when it was
loaded into memory.
However, I'd almost certainly be checking you hardware at this
point, as software doesn't usually cause random single bit flips...
Cheers,
Dave.
