Abstract: Let $H_n^{(2)}$ denote the second-order harmonic number $su{m}_{0<klen}1/k^2$ for $n=0,1,2,ldots$. In this paper we obtain the following identity: ${\displaystyle }$sum_{k=1}^inftyfrac{2^kH_{k-1}^{(2)}}{k�inom{2k}k}=frac{pi^3}{48}.${\displaystyle }$ We explain how we found the series and develop related congruences involving Bernoulli or Euler numbers; for example, it is shown that ${\displaystyle }$sum_{k=1}^{p-1}frac{�inom{2k}k}{2^k}H_k^{(2)}equiv-E_{p-3}pmod{p}${\displaystyle }$ for any prime $p>3$, where $E_0,E_1,E_2,ldots$ are Euler numbers. Motivated by the Amdeberhan-Zeilberger identity $$, we also establish the congruence ${\displaystyle }$sum_{k=1}^{(p-1)/2}frac{21k-8}{k^3�inom{2k}k^3}equiv(-1)^{(p+1)/2}4E_{p-3}pmod p${\displaystyle }$ for each prime $p>3$.
