Shoes that dont release and stay fully contacted all the time will do this. Seen it before quite a few times

I just jacked the car up in the air and the back wheel spins just fine with the normal little rubing noise

Does the drum spin freely is the question?

The wheel rest against the hub, so it will spin.

You need to remove the wheel and see if the drum spins freely.
