My second example was unevenly sampled, which means that the
Integral[f dx] the differential size "dx" is variable.

I don't have any easy suggestions. The dynamic range of your data is
huge, which could be the source of huge errors.

If it were me, I would fit a continuous model to the data and errors.
For example, the model could be a power law with break at a fitted
frequency. Once the parameters of your smooth function are determined
- with errors - the area under the curve can be estimated - with
errors.
