If your rear brake assembly is a drum type it may need new brake shoes or possibly just a good cleaning , good luck .

I am not native English speaker, but pads are replaceable friction parts of brake disc asembly, while shoes are replaceable friction parts for drums. Considering that you have drum on the rear wheel and not disc, you probably need shoes (and/or springs, and/or adjustment, and/or cleaning).
