What does it mean if when testing functional flow all of a sudden when turning one of the sourced off, brown water comes out of another faucet? Corrosion of pipes? House is 1959 copper. House has been lived in for last 7 years at least.

No, public water.

If you turned on all of the faucets (including the hot), it’s probably just sediment in the tank getting picked up by the increased flow rate of having all the hots on at one time. Nobody runs the HW drain as often as they should.
