Brake line or abs module. I’d change the brake line first though obviously.

I second this post seen many over the years working on vehicles the rubber brake line that goes to caliper the inside liner comes loose acting like check valves the foot pressure forces fluid past it to activate brakes but the line closes off not letting pressure back off brake pads. That would be my first thing to replace they got so bad we made it standard when changing calipers to always replace that line. start there good chance that's the issue its the easiest and cheapest the abs modules are not cheep buy any means and locations of some can be a SOB to replace plus age lines rust and then that becomes a PITA all on it's own
