Please ask if you need clarification

Does a Pokemon that calls Flying Press via Metronome with the Stellar Type receive STAB for both Fighting and Flying?

Non-Fighting Pokemon don't receive STAB on Flying Press, so the move is functionally a Fighting type. I would imagine it stays the same with the Stellar modifications.
But as a Stellar type don't you become a Fighting type as well for STAB function? Like your not actually Fighting but you get STAB from it.
But doesn't Hawlucha receive Double STAB from Flying Press?
No, flying press does both fighting and flying damage but it's a fighting type move. hitmonchan would get stab on it, but corviknight wouldn't.
> Although Flying Press deals dual type damage, it is still a pure Fighting type move so only gains STAB from Fighting type Pokémon.

When a Pokémon Terastallizes into the Stellar type, it gains increased STAB for every move type, but only once per type; 2x for original types and 1.2x for every other type.

Although Flying Press deals dual type damage, it is still a pure Fighting type move so only gains STAB from Fighting type Pokémon.

And since Flying Press is only a Fighting Type move, you would get a 1.2X boost on the first attack. Hope this helps!
