As the debug.log states, a corrupt block was found on disk, which indicates a potential hardware failure. This could just be a fluke (e.g. a cosmic ray bit flip) and you could try to resolve it by deleting the blocks and chainstate directories so that it will resync from scratch. However, if you do that and continue to have block corruption errors, you probably want to run some diagnostics to check if your hardware is failing.
