Also, make sure to look for caliper spread. If the top of the caliper spread enough that the pad could fit between the pistons and the outside of the floating caliper and it didn't have that much friction material left, it would fall out.

At the minimum, I would think you are going to need to rebuild that caliper if the pistons have been contacting the disc.

Let us know.
