You might need to rebuild the calipers. If the bores get corroded or gummed up with old fluid they can stick and drag, causing friction and heat which boils the brake fluid causing a soft pedal and also causes the pad to overheat and smear material all over the rotors like you see there. Another cause of sticking is the rubber hoses swelling shut from the inside.
