What's the solution for this problem? Is it possible to repair the caliper or should I go for a new one?

check the sliders move freely.
personally i dont bother to try and free up calipers. get a recon unit there a common honda problem area

grease the sliders penetrating fluid on the handbrake mech other than that a replacement caliper

Really?, from the look of that I'd of thought they would be stuck fast. IMO I would rather strip it and fix it than throw money at a new caliper. It depends on your willingness to do the work and or timeframe.

I could easily move it by hand without any stucking

Is there a difference between 2.0 and 2.2 calipers?
The cheapest I could find:

Was it the pad that jammed in the carrier? I have had that before, sliders were ok but the pad was jammed tight. Is the piston able to move (wind back clockwise)? From what I can see, if the sliders and piston are good there is no point in buying a new caliper. Yeah rear brakes are the same for 2.0 & 2.2. Front calipers are different.

I wouldn't say that the pad was jammed. I haven't tried to move the piston though.
My mate is suggesting me to start with the new brake pads and discs.

Thoroughly clean behind the boot & wind fully in.

I find a new set of pads fixes it; when they become about 1/2 worn, they stop working effectively and the disc gets all stripey again. Even with new calipers...
