Yes, those T-birds had IRS.
Most front and rear independent suspension systems with unequal upper and lower control arms (not the strut-type systems) are designed to have a camber change as they move through their suspension travel. It compensates for chassis lean and roll in hard cornering, among other things.

However, at rest, they should not have a noticible camber.
So, try taking it to an alignment shop and have a 4 wheel alignment with the stereo equipment in the car.

Also, a good alignment shop will align it with someone in the drivers seat, at about your weight, to make sure it is aligned properly when you are driving the car.

Finally have the shop take a good look at the rear suspension, to be sure there is nothing worn out or broken.
