Of course, I can’t do Solomon-Reed error correction in my head so I can’t recover the damaged bits. It sure does not look like a URL - I am pretty sure I didn’t make any mistakes as recoverable bytes all fit the 0-1----- or, more rarely, 0001---1 pattern - the latter are likely dividers of some sort. This suggests it’s some kind of internal-use encoding with 6 bits per byte. Interesting, I thought it would just encode the URL and/or the code (but it’s not valid ASCII text so no URL, and you don’t need 55 bytes for 6 alphanumeric characters!)
If you decode the QR code by hand, it reads
