Remove it and test the mechanisms. If they work ok, you may have a snapped seat frame.

They are easy to remove and refit. There's probably a guide in the wiki.

Most commonly the seat base snapped in my experience.

Very common for the screws holding the backrest to the hinges come loose.
Remove the seatback and youll see the screws down near the bottom.
Sticky mechs can be revived with WD40 but if the teeth are badly worn then easy enough to remove and replace.Just pull the clip off and twist the mech to remove it.

As said above snapped seat frame is also common.
