Squealing brakes on 850 850 1997

Hi y'all. I have a squeal coming from the rear of the car. It can only be heard after I take my foot off the brake pedal and I begin accelerating. My car has been sitting the last two days, where we have received over 3 inches of rain in the same time period. It has been 30k since my last brake job. I am wondering if the squeal could be my calipers sticking due to some rust that may have accumulated in all the rain? it is a different pitch than the one you get when your pads or tires are worn. It goes away after accelerating for a couple seconds.

    The easiest solution would bey to take the pads out and wack on some copperslip(lubrication). examine the piston for seal damage etc.Take any glaze of the pads and discs. will only take hour or so in total.
