My 1991 civic did the same thing and it Turned out to be a fuse under the hood. At the same time the door dinger would ding when I hit the brakes and I had no horn.
Just pull the abs fuse ,anything that disables the motor will leave you with "old fashioned" brakes. No abs but base brakes will be fine .ABS light will stay on .
Replace rear brake pads. If that doesn't help, remove the plastic console around the parking brake lever and adjust the pull on the lever. It's probably so loose that it's trigger the light.
This is not normal, looks like someone accidentally drove several miles with the brake on.
A fuse will only blow if there is too much current draw. It is likely that there is an intermittent short in the wiring for the brake circuit. Do you tow any trailers with lights connected up? They are common for having bad wiring, causing fuses to blow. If not, a auto electrician will need to check the current draw for the brake light system, a quick and easy job, to find out if there is a fault present all the time or just intermittently. Intermittent wiring faults can be very time consuming (read expensive) to find.
