Your calipers are locking up in reverse and you do need a brake job. The rear brakes are used for parking brakes and that adds to the work they have to doo and to the maintenance, as well.

They probably " slapped " a set of pads on last time , When the E-brake is part of the caliper it needs to be adjusted properly and the caliper pins need to be inspected and lubed for even wear . Details that many will skip .
