I would bet a dust seal has adhered to the piston and been pulled through, stopping the piston from backing off.

Fun part will be if the previous owner has not maintained the caliper and the retaining pins are seized in place. It is a poor design, well documented and a search will prove useful for rebuilding. Try to avoid splitting the caliper.
