ahrefs site audit lists broken pages that don't exist

This article https://help.ahrefs.com/en/articles/2595459-site-audit-is-reporting-pages-that-are-not-on-my-site-why-is-this doesn't address the issue because "first found at" and "number of inlinks" are both blank/0 for all links.
One of the links is "domain.com/%C2%A0".
Another is "domain.com/VALID-PAGE" but the ALL CAPS makes it not work.
Another is a valid page but missing the last letter.
Again, "first found at" and "number of inlinks" are blank for all of them. So ahrefs seems to have conjured them out of thin air.

More info:
I downloaded the report and I see that "is indexable" and "is renderable" are both "false". "Title" is blank. It has a size "15385", and 177 ms loading time.
Ok, "number of backlinks" is 8. Yet this only shows in the downloaded .csv. Otherwise, there is no indication of any links or information about which pages/websites are linking to it.
So I guess I have to manually visit the backlink checker page to see who is linking to these non-existent pages.
