You might be able to free it up but i think it's unwise to keep using it. Brakes are too important to take a chance with. It's expensive but you really need to replace it, and ideally as an axle pair.

One of these may be useful, or something similar, as already been said, you may get away with getting the piston in, but in the long term you will need to replace either the seals (never worked for me yet) or replace the whole unit

If you struggle getting the piston back in you will have to keep an eye on the caliper for leeakage
