It's not unknown for a caliper piston to seize, usually due to muck and corrosion. I had to deal with one on my SV a couple of weeks back.

Clean the caliper... Lots of useful stuff on this if you use the search. One or more of your pistons is a bit sticky.

You really need to push the pistons out a bit, check the seals, and clean the piston faces. If they're bad enough, it might want new seals. It's not exactly hard, but it's also not a job I'd want to have taken on as a total novice- and of course it's safety critical, brakes.

Sounds like it could be the wisest choice. I'm not about discouraging people to work on their own bikes,. don't get me wrong... But this maybe isn't the place to start.
