Sometimes the ring is just stuck. The water may have come from the atmosphere, slowly working through the intake path, condensing when it got cold and never really evaporating.
An open valve on that cylinder is all it would take. I would worry less about the no-compression, as stuck rings can unstick themselves with a little time. I don't know of an online version, but the paper copies of Clymer are fairly cheap.
