New rear Caliper? Yay or Nay? (Video included)

Hi guys, i drove home last night to find when i parked up....smoke was coming from my rear wheel.
I re-lubed my rear calipers a few months ago and applied new discs, pads and bearings due to the hand brake being slack.
Now i think its time for some new calipers after last nights incident.
Here is a video, hope you can confirm my suspicions.

Mine had a similar fault and my hand brake would not work. I had the caliper changed and all has been great since. I also teied having mine stripped and greased before which only works for a short time. Also health and safety says you should not work on a car still on a jack and eapecially the original VW jack
