True, horns do blow all the time...and we do indeed usually ignore them.However a horn blowing inadvertently and a horn blowing to signify the end of a game are quite different IMHO.
The officials would have to get together and determine what to do from the point in time when the horn "ended the game".
If the game was determined, by the officials, of being "ended" prematurely and at a time when the ball was loose...go to the arrow and put the "definite" time back on the clock. (The "definite" time was from the Referee's stated knowledge of such.)
