A picture may help too. A lot of cars came with electrically adjustable backs but manual height adjustment. Mine is like that too. So you will not hear any motor sound when you pull that lever if it's manual. Additionally they take a little bit of effort to adjust and are not as loose if that makes sense. Finally there is a pressurized canister, for lack of a better term to explain it, that provides the pressure needed to help the seat with that height adjustment and given the age, that could be shot too.

Good luck!
