Looks like your drum is rubbing against the pins on the parking brake linkage. Most likely cause is that the taper on the axle and hub. After years of wear, the hub/drum can slide too far down the axle and get too close to he brake parts. Really quite common. The vendors sell a shim that fits around the axle taper to take up some of the wear, which will keep the drum far enough away from the brakes.
