it could have broken the tranny parking lock, if it did, it cracks the housing and tranny is now toast
test if the parking brake works by trying to roll it forward or backward while shifter is in park, if no damage to the tranny by being forced backwards it should work as intended and not want to roll, if it keeps rolling then you have internal damage in the tranny

It was a driveway I've literally backed out of over 1000 times with no vehicle behind me. Doesn't excuse me not looking, but we are creatures of habit.
I try to make a habit of looking where i'm driving when i get in a vehicle. It's not that I think i'll miss the driveway, but rather that there could be children/animals walking behind me.

Blinker fluid probably needs topping off

Parking pawl
If the parking pawl is broken, the vehicle will be free to roll with gravity. So if it isn't moving while in park (on a slope or you two try and push it) and the E-brake disengaged, the pawl is still fine.

Well, when you have kids, you won't ever forget to look. And sometimes get out and look under the vehicle and then still be paranoid backing out.

Just a car
At least it wasn’t a kid

But his truck moved backwards about 5-7 feet.
Did it slide or did it roll that distance?

This pretty much nails it. There is a sprocket attached to the output shaft of the transmission and a spring loaded pawl that engages it when the transmission is placed in park. Stop on an incline, place the vehicle in park and release the foot brake. It will likely roll back and inch or two until the pawl engages a tooth but it shouldn't be much. If it rolls much further or you get a chunking sound and studdered movement you have an issue.
Keep in mind, especially a truck transmission is designed to hold a fair amount of weight on a significant incline and given this apparently was not a significant dynamic event chances are it is just fine.
This is an example of a broken pawl

Jesus were you pulling a Mater and driving backwards at 40 mph? Moving a truck 5-7 feet takes some effort if it’s in park.

May have strained the tooth thing for the transmission park. I forget what it’s called.

Good news--the driveway has a tiny slope and his truck didn't roll down it. Glad someone pointed that out. Crisis averted perhaps.

It likely messed up his odometer so you committed odometer fraud.
