Not 100%, as I don’t have a Stinger, but the Cal makes me think it’s in Compass Calibration mode. Does it have an electronic compass? If so, try rotating in multiple axes to complete the calibration.

How did you get into it? Did you replace the depth sensor or have left the computer without battery for an extended period? My guess is it is in calibration mode. Not sure how to get out but while you are at it, remove the battery again and put it back and see whether you will get it back to normal.
No compass
altitude self correction?
Well, it just stuck in this display, no idea what it is

Ok, I suppose when you removed the sensor, it went off from its calibration with some reason. Are the buttons doing anything at that state? I would close the case and pressurize the computer (take it to a dive) and see whether there is any response. If buttons start doing anything under pressure, then, you might try to calibrate it with another computer or depth gauge.

I have serviced probably a couple of hundred Suunto Stingers during the last 17 years and I've never seen the code CAL 21 that yours is showing. I suspect that you either damaged the pressure sensor when you cleaned it (probably by scrubbing the seal that prevents water to touch the electronics) or the flat cable that connects it to the electronic module is either damaged or has a bad electrical contact. I hate to tell you, but when a pressure sensor in a Stinger or any other dive computer malfunctions, the solution is not to "clean it" but to replace it.
