My question is: is there really such a stable species as NaCO3(-), or
is this some artifact of the packages calculations?
I wouldn't expect that to be very stable, but it is possible that you
might get such ion pairing in a very concentrated solution.

The solution you've outlined is very concentrated- it's got about 770
g of solute per litre; that's about five water molecules for every
sodium ion.
