Looks like someone has ground on one of the shoe to possibly address a grabby brake problem. Probably didn't help, since they ground on the wrong shoe to fix the problem.
It doesn’t look like normal wear, the markings go the wrong direction. Did you find any pieces of it in the hub? Personally I would replace them, it’s highly recommended on any old (new to you) motorcycle.
The ends of the linings have been ground down, chamfered, by Honda. Those are the original brakes and need to be replaced! the glue is old and will let the lining separate from the shoe which will cause the brake/wheel to lock up.
Definitely replacing. I have new OEM rear pads, they look a lot different (and are chamfered, but only a small amount right at the end, a much steeper angle).
I’m doing tires/tubes, brakes and wheel bearings on all 4 wheels both bikes.
