Sounds like a great problem to have

since you have tried disconnecting the battery and that failed to work a trip to the dealer and a hookup to STAR might be your solution. However, before that is there anyway you can test the battery and see if by any chance see if it is low?

There are a few threads on here with a similar issue. Google site:mbworld.org AMG stuck in sport mode. I just clicked on a couple of them. One was due to malfunctioning dampers and another one due to some other component failing. Basically it ended up being a dealer visit to get it resolved. Replacing the failing component that's causing AMG DYNAMIC SELECT to misbehave.

Given the vehicle age and the oddness of the symptom I would change main and aux batteries to establish a known good voltage supply. This rules out the obvious and allows Dx focus on a sensor or switch/button.
