Postgres is 8.2.9.

An upgrade would probably help you a lot, and as others have said it sounds 
like your hardware is failing, so you probably want to deal with that first.

I am a bit surprised, however, that no one seems to have mentioned using 
CLUSTER rather than VACUUM or REINDEX. Sometimes that's worth a try...

Don't know if it was for this reason or not for not mentioning it by others, but CLUSTER isn't so great in 8.2. The whole "not MVCC-safe" bit does not inspire confidence on a production server.
