They both mean rusty/rusted, so is there any subtle difference between these
synonyms or is one longer and that's it?

word-choice nuances
Is there a difference between sabita (錆びた) and sabitsuita (錆びついた)?
How you express the state of rust may vary from person to person, but I think
that 錆びた and 錆びていた are obviously different.  
Because it is difficult to explain with words, I searched for images by a
keyword "錆" on the Internet.  
Since I placed the representative images and arranged them according to my
feeling, please have a look.

When something is very rusty, we sometimes say "錆｛さび｝さびだ！" to express it.
