I've also seen the cables get stuck in the sleeves from simple corrosion.

If they are frayed, they need to be replaced...

Fraying usually happens at the ends unless its super rusty inside.

The quick easy way to check is to disconnect them from the brake calipers and then from the e-brake connecter near the handle. Then all you have to do is move the cable by hand, if it's smooth back and forth no catching & you see no fraying at the ends it should be good.
