Was this template code primarily copied/pasted from an example?
Can you try deleting and manually typing new quotes around the base.html
reference in your {% extends %} tag?
Not sure if it's my email client or not, but those appear to be "smart
quotes", which lean left/right, usually automatically inserted by editor
applications like MS Word or possible from a translation from text to PDF
to make things "pretty".
To a computer parser like the Django template system, those are interpreted
differently as regular characters rather than quotes, which would explain
the parser error you are receiving. Hard to spot, but I've been bit by that
type of subtle bug before.
