Some cars now (Nissan Pathfinder was the one I first saw this on. Have both disc and drum brakes in the back.
A disc hydralic brake for the pedal, then a drum cable operated brake for the parking brake. I found this very odd and complex.

Nah it's really not, the disc brakes are hydraulic and the little drum set up on the backside is the cable operated e brake.
Old school drum brakes have the same set up (hydraulic and cable) but use the same shoes for both.
The little gif you posted actually shoes old shool e brake in action, if it was regular braking the shoes would be pushed out equally from a wheel cylinder at the top
