are the caliper seals old?

Its a sliding caliper so you have caliper sliding pin seals as well as piston seals. They need to be in good condition with the proper greases.

The pistons also need to be clean.

Often they are neglected into the ground so require a full strip and rebuild.

Even after doing this the rear brake still doesn't have much power. it shouldn't be on/off though, thats a sign of something sticking.

Unless its for track bike then the stock rear is usually fine for the road unless you rely heavily on the rear brake.

You will never get great performance out of it as its only a small disc, you should however feel it slow you down slightly when applied hard.
