Noticed my brakes were stuck and took apart the caliper to see all of this.

The inside other than the bottom where the fluid enters was dry, the piston looks pretty corroded and the piston housing has some scuffs and that gash. I can feel the mark when I rub my finger on it. Assuming all my other calipers are in similar condition can I get away with just buying new pistons and seals or is it recommended I just buy new unloaded calipers. I also noticed the break pads were worn uneven like one was worn down slightly more than the other, should I replace those too? The rotors "seem" fine as in they aren't noticeably warped or worn uneven to touch or sight but I could be wrong. Also any reason why this happened so I can prevent it in the future?
Thanks.
