I would go for a full database export to /dev/null. This will physical verify all the user data, and most of the data dictionary.
It is possible that
a) your count(*) from some bizarre reason
is using your damaged temp tablespace (I suggest dropping it and recreating it at some point)
b) Your count(*) is using an index - in which
case you may have sound data, but a corrupt index which you can drop and rebuild. Check the execution plan for the count(*).
