Rear brakes can be adjusted to compensate for wear , and brake cable can be tightened to compensate for stretch. More likely that your rear brake linings are just worn to the point that the park brake mechanism doesn't open them up enough.
Take it to one of those chain brake places that offers a free inspection. If it just needs an adjustment , they might do it during the inspection.

Underneath the vehicle is a turnbuckle to tighten the cable for the parking brake you need to turn it until his tight enough that when you engage your parking brake it will function properly.
