You can make $S$ equal $T$ in two operations, as follows.
- Erase the first character of $S$, and insert that character `a` at the end of $S$, making $S$ `baba`.
- Erase the first character of $S$, and insert that character `b` between the $2$-nd and $3$-rd characters of $S$, making $S$ `abba`.
It is impossible to make $S$ equal $T$ in one or fewer operations, so the answer is $2$.
