Yes I did it couple time, but without effect.

OK. So maybe files without permission to read?
If not then I don't know what is the reason this failed.

OK. I started all commands you suggested. Below please find result:

$ balooctl monitor
Waiting for file indexer to start
Press Ctrl+C to stop monitoring
File indexer is running
Starting
Checking for stale index entries
Waiting for file indexer to start
Press Ctrl+C to stop monitoring

Sorry? What do you mean? I update my system every day, and even couple times. I
have Linux Arch based distribution (Antergos, migrated to Arch repositories). 
$ pacman -Q baloo
baloo 5.84.0-1

OK. I did it and another to start indexing, so:
$ balooctl enable

After some time it was finished and in GUI I found:
"Status Idle, 100% complete [Pause Indexer]"

BTW. Is this button saying "pause" is a bug? Because indexing finished.

And of course this time I was able to find my file in Dolphin :).

Yes.  I think you did.
Big thanks for help. Seems purge was the solution for this issue. But still
don't know why indexing stuck and what files cased this.
