Mastercylinder or wheel cylinder or caliper piston?

If it's a mastercylinder, toss it and get a new one.

Wheel cylinder, squeeze the brake shoes together, if it won't move, toss it.

Caliper piston, use a c-clamp and compress it. Now keep in mind. If it is a rear wheel caliper and it has any slots, like a regular screwdriver groove, or a plus pattern. These cannot be pushed but are rotated either clockwise or counterclockwise. If it's a long slot use a flat bar or huge screwdriver, if it is 4 little cuts in the outer edge, use a pair of needle nose plyers and span the difference. Than use the tools to try turning the piston. It should move fairly easy, if not, toss it and replace. (Rotation of the piston is how the emergency brakes set)

The bearings are probably just stuck on the spindle, you might need a puller to help, hammering wont get it and will damage other things, it needs to be pulled off nice and slow.

Yes, There are two sets of internal seals and a rear seal. The internal seals can fail and the cylinder will retain the Brake fluid, it just wont work correctly.
