InnoDB issue after power outage a few weeks ago - no backup
The InnoDB dictionary contains information about all tables in your database(s).
The dictionary is a set of InnoDB tables hidden from a user. 

Looks like a records about example_example/table1 is missing in the dictionary.

I'd explore content of SYS_INDEXES and SYS_TABLES to see if the table is in it. https://twindb.com/how-to-recover-innodb-dictionary/
