Your string is a mixture of hexadecimal and octal representation of "storage:link":

\x73\164\x6f\x72\141\147\145\x3a\154\x69\x6e\153
  ^   ^   ^   ^   ^   ^   ^   ^   ^   ^   ^   ^
 hex oct hex hex oct oct oct hex oct hex hex oct

According to this comment, you may convert your binary string into hex represented text like this:

$hexStr = bin2hex("storage:link");       // 73746f726167653a6c696e6b
$hexStr = chunk_split($hexStr, 2, '\x'); // 73\x74\x6f\x72\x61\x67\x65\x3a\x6c\x69\x6e\x6b\x
$hexStr = '\x' . substr($hexStr, 0, -2); // \x73\x74\x6f\x72\x61\x67\x65\x3a\x6c\x69\x6e\x6b

The final output would be:

\x73\x74\x6f\x72\x61\x67\x65\x3a\x6c\x69\x6e\x6b
  ^   ^   ^   ^   ^   ^   ^   ^   ^   ^   ^   ^
 hex hex hex hex hex hex hex hex hex hex hex hex
