These are probably not old pages, but translated docs: the automatic
language selection hides the language of the pages which have broken
links, and we have dozens of broken links in translations, that's why
I'm on a systematic x-references checking and fixing tool.  After I've
tested enough this script and have fixed currently broken links, I'll
propose a plan to handle translated docs in a way that break them least.
I'm expecting to have this ready on Thursday or this week-end.

Cheers,
