Another Steam user gave me a Steam wallet code. Can my PC/Steam account get hacked by redeeming that code?
This user also sent me this Pastebin link: pastebin.com/Kv4LAxhg which is now marked "This page is no longer available. It has either expired, been removed by its creator, or removed by one of the Pastebin staff." Is this link safe? The user said that the link contains the code, and after I didn't reply for him for a couple of minutes after he sent that link, he messaged me the code itself instead.

It is possible. One of the methods of account recovery is providing to the Steam support team a game key code or wallet funds code that has previously been redeemed on the account (as per here).
If you redeem the code then the scammer can provide that code to Steam support, as well as proof of purchase, and gain access to your account.
