It's in the sequence itself (which can be accessed like a table). The
fact that this "table" is in fact a sequence is stored in pg_class:

--------8<--------
itsme=# CREATE TABLE a (i serial);
HINWEIS:  CREATE TABLE erstellt implizit eine Sequenz »a_i_seq« für
die »serial«-Spalte »a.i«
CREATE TABLE
itsme=# SELECT * FROM a_i_seq;sequence_name | last_value | increment_by |      max_value      |
min_value | cache_value | log_cnt | is_cycled | is_called

---------------+------------+--------------+---------------------+-----------+-------------+---------+-----------+-----------a_i_seq
     |          1 |            1 | 9223372036854775807 |   1 |           1 |       1 | f         | f

itsme=# SELECT relkind FROM pg_class WHERE relname = 'a_i_seq';relkind
---------S
