Typical of a drum brake on some vehicles. If you feel real energetic you can lightly sandblast the brake shoes and use emory cloth to clean up the brake drum. They could be glazed to some degree. We used to do that on our dirt bikes after dirty watercrossings and the brakes would get so bad they would not work at all.
