That doesn't exist. It's either Sarge, which is Debian 3.1, or Woody,
which is Debian 3.0. A release version 3.0, codenamed "Sarge", does not
and will not ever exist.

That's likely because you can't install a backport which was compiled
for Sarge on a Woody system. If you want to keep the system in its
current state, you are out of luck. If that's not important, you can
first upgrade the woody machine to a sarge machine (see the sarge
release notes for how to do that; you can find these on the Debian
website), and then install the postgresql backports.
